Had some thoughts about this the past few days.

What about checking if it was run at least once between vX and vX+1? Maybe
during the `b4 send` command? In case it wasn't run, give a hint/warning to the
user before proceeding?

This could also be enforced with an b4 config option like
b4.force-trailers-update - either set by the user or the project configuration.
Not so sure about this one though...

Now if I were to speak for myself, I would love to have an option that just
fetches the new trailers during `b4 send` and errors out / warns me about
it if there's anything new that isn't part of my series. Which could be also
ignored with --ignore-trailer-errors or something like that, in any case.
