Don't we have something like this already? We just need to provide 'some kind of a diff' of bmah's work. At least from an end-user point of view that's all what's needed (they want to know: X is new, Y is improved). It may not show much of progress in public available places, and may not be attractive to developers which are back home from a holiday, but more tech-savvy users (or people which want to get more tech-savvy) which want to know what happens under the hood of FreeBSD read cvs-all (at least I did this back in the 3.x days to learn more about FreeBSD). This doesn't cover the people between the above mentioned parties (those which aren't able to understand if a commit fixes a specific bug or not), but I've seen no description of the intended audience so far... BTW.: Such information should IMHO be in-tree and with timestamps (perhaps with an entry for the introduction of a bug too), like UPDATING.
