And as far as I can see, the testing repo is what it means : for testing!
Packages are tested, and breakages / changes are often found during
that period. When these changes are normal and/or unavoidable, an
announcement is usually made before they are pushed to core / extra.
Testing is for people who are willing to contribute to the stability
and smooth upgrades of core/extra packages, who have time to figure
things out when a breakage happen (which sometimes means spending a
few hours, and getting headaches), who update regularly (more than
every few months), and who follow arch-dev-public.
No one can prevent people who don't fit all these requirements to use
testing, but at least they should be aware of them.

There are times when I do have the time to upgrade often, read the mailing lists, browse through the forums and file some bugs.

And there are times when I don't have it. Probably I should just disable the testing repo for times like that.

I was just curious if there is any single place where, for example, changelogs for packages can be found.

Maybe it could be created automatically from SVN log messages.

(Yeah, I know, I can implement it if I really want it.)
