I have found that upstream developers are quite responsive to such suggestions especially if you provide them tips to automate the generation of it As a specific example, askbot (which powers <a href="http://ask.fedoraproject.org">http://ask.fedoraproject.org</a>) has a good summary of changes in a easily accessible place after I requested them<br>
