I fully agree with you in these two points.
Yet I haven't seen much traffic in this GSoC item this year (sorry, if
I'm seeing it wrong), so help might be welcome.

Basically you're right. They are not updated immediately.
Lately I've updated the GSoC page to insert more helpful references.
The GEGL porting matrix is updated regularly, the last time on
07.07.2013. Updating it on every end of month and inserting
the missing changes is on my list of periodic tasks.
If something important is missing, I'd be grateful for suggestions.

Kind regards,
