I'll leave that to Jim since he's the editor. :-)  I suspect that he'd
be happy to accomdate it if someone will do the work.

Does Subversion have good metadata that we could do to make this easier?
Maybe a good driver towards using Subversion (like KDE is moving towards)
for all this.  Because it does seem like a lot of work.  A good project
for someone who has good skills in XML stuff I think.

I still get the cvs commit summaries, but they are just stats
about who are the top committers, and what module was the most active
it doesn't provide a lot of detail unfortunately.  I could follow up
on it if people want me to and see how it gets generated.
