I'm sure if it doesn't do exactly that already, we can add it shortly.

Some of planned functionality for hijack detection is already live. 
That's one of the main reasons for creating this service.

It's interesting, but I don't see any way to do what I primarily
use the existing BGPMon for: watch for hijacks.

That is, set up one or more prefixes to be continuously monitored
and have the monitor send me an email alert when that prefix or a
subnet of it begins to be announced by someone new.

For example, if I have told it to monitor 44.0.0.0/8 and someone
somewhere begins announcing it, or perhaps 44.1.0.0/16, I'd very
much like to know about that, along with details of who and where.

Then if that announcement is authorized, I can tell the monitoring
service that this new entry is NOT a hijack, and it won't bug me
about it again.

Can it be persuaded to do this?
