Is there a mailing list somewhere that all the CVS commits get sent to? Other projects I've worked on have such a list, and each commit message is followed by a complete diff (usually with -u for readability) so even non-committers can do a code read right then and there while the changes are still fresh in the author's mind and can be discussed in detail. If such a list already exists, where do I subscribe? If not, don't you think it would be helpful in spreading around fuller knowledge of changes to the codebase?
