There are other means too other than bogging down with emails such as the archive: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-river-commits/ Can search and scan etc. Too, one can use SVN to show them the recent changes from X to Y. Might want to mention those on the page. I use such things in different projects just to easily limit scope and not have as many emails etc. Basically a periodic check.
