[Radiant] How does one keep track of GitHub?

Hi folks,

I see all this excitement about GitHub. It's great that everyone can  
throw in their 2¢. It's like stepping on the gas. Now how about that  
steering wheel?

What I don't get is how anyone can keep track of it. Before GitHub, it  
was hard enough to track all the extensions and which one went with  
which version of code base. Now it seems like an impossible task.  
Unfortunately I haven't been able to read the whole 'Summer Reboot  
Documentation' thread, so I don't know if anyone has addressed this in  
there.

It seems to me that two things are needed to try to get this under  
control for new people coming on the scene, or those who can't keep up  
with the changes:

1) Some kind of news feed
2) Someone to take the news feed and compile it into the current  
'state of the world' - weekly maybe?

... or am I out in left field?

What I'm thinking of as a news feed would be something like this...

July 16 - John started on the uber_fu extension
July 16 - Tony released the fork of the uber_mailer extension
July 15 - Jenna released the google_maps extension
July 13 - Tony started a fork of the uber_mailer extension
July 10 - Jenna started the google_maps extension

How to make that happen? beats me. Tag blog entries with  
'radiantcmsnewsfeed' and somehow find them and aggregate them into a  
single RSS feed?
