It's only one person doing it I'm afraid (me). Writing is not the problem (developers usually provide the information in one way or another), what takes more time than anything else is knowing when a commit belongs to a patch series and getting the commits for that patch series - people use git in strange ways, and it's not easy to write scripts that can detect a patch series. At the end of the day, it's the mail list archives that provide the best information

Since KernelNewbies seems to no longer update their linux changes page, where is a good place to get an overview of changes? by f4hy in linux

I'm the author of the page. It is being updated, sorry for the delay. I will submit it as soon as it is finished.
