Indeed. Also, all the files are in CVS, so there are all possibilities
for automatic change notification already. For example, you could
subscribe to cvs-commits-list, and then filter out the changes that
affect gnome-i18n/status/data/translation-status.xml, which is the file
that controls the content of the status pages. No need for human
intervention to get automatic notices about changes (which is simply not
feasible).

Better yet, by automatically retrieving this file (regularily or only
when there are changes), you could make your own status pages be
automatically updated...

Indeed, that's also an aspect of it worth to think about.
