People miss important updates scattered across online sources
People following software changes, website features, and shop availability can miss updates when each source has different or inconvenient notification options. Some rely on memory or ask others to alert them, while mailing-list notifications can be too coarse. A general update tracker could help with this subset of signals, though it would not solve agency paperwork, source discovery, or the need for dedicated reporting.
For people monitoring updates across online sources. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Feb 2025 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

I don't want to reply, because I don't have any new information to add, but I want to know once the patch is merged
