First of all, I hope that no one on any ASF project thinks of users as
"mere" in any sense.

I think that you are raising an orthogonal issue.  You are talking about
wanting to be able to keep up with the ASF more easily and effectively.  I
don't disagree with you, but I don't think that it is any easier to locate
content on one massive web site with tons of large sub-projects.  As we
develop better tools to communicate, perhaps it would help to have RSS feeds
such that you could customize an RSS aggregator to track those feeds that
you care about.
