A user friendly digest of relevant new features was indeed the original goal of that page. If we want a very granular list of changes I would suggest to start from the output of "svn log" and then decorate it to be more readable: it could be an interesting page for sure (we could run it every week/month).
Since it seems that the committers are having an hard time keeping the page updated (I am one of the guys who is not keeping it up to date so blame on me!), are there (non committers) volunteers that would like to lead the effort? The task can be summarized in this way: 1) keep an eye on the commits (and discussions on the dev mailing lists) and prepare a digest of the main new features 2) if there are doubts about commit, feel free to ask for more information to the committer 3) take care of completing the summary of the month within the first 10 days of the next month This task is also a great way, imo, for becoming a new committer because it really helps to learn a lot about the project.
