Well, I think a dev posted something here on this list a while back 
about something that might be added to Gentoo.  I like it when they post 
something about changes because unless you read the docs every time 
there is a upgrade and remember enough to notice any changes, how else 
you going to know something changed?  I'll admit, I subscribe to the dev 
mailing list because that does give me a heads up to some changes.  I 
don't think changes to emerge is ever posted there.  I do on occasion 
see a discussion about adding a feature to emerge but rarely see 
anything about whether it was added or not.

Even if it was just a post to this list that was a short description and 
a link to a wiki, forum thread or the details itself, that would be a 
big help.  I guess that no one wants to volunteer to do the job that is 
in the know about the changes tho.
