Hello, I also sometimes wish that GHC developer discussions happened in a single place, separate from the commits and ticket lists (at present they are sometimes on ghc-users and sometimes on cvs-ghc). For what it's worth, I don't follow the commit and build-bot messages closely, instead I use various git tools to catch up on what's going on with the development (mostly I use gitk, git-gub, and our own git-web instance on darcs.haskell.org). I do find the trac bug messages useful though, both as a GHC user and a GHC developer.
