Yes, but for what I suggested we need standardized location as well as
format to permit automatic extraction, formatting, processing, ... off-line. 
For just one glimpse at that consider Debian's changelog site at
changelog.debian.net (NB .net not .org as it is a contributed site), and
eg 
	     http://changelog.debian.net/r-base
for a nine-year maintenance history of R within Debian.

I really want summaries to pop up in my rss reader to glance at what was
updated on CRAN.  But as Kurt pointed out, that may be Quixotic. Too bad.
