It is already. The official home page for the Policy Manual is
http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-policy/
It contains the current version, a changelog (just what you wanted to
have), a unified diff against the latest version, and an archive of older
versions.
The current DRAFT version is also available there, together with a list of
changes plus the status of each change. (Some changes may still need
approval by the developers--they are marked as such clearly.)
Thanks,
Chris
