Actually - that is almost nicer than a change file - and easier to also
list doc's people, debuggers, qua, valueble feedback fols and people
reporting things like bugs and holes.

Would it be possible to do something clever; i.e. drive a changes file or
the web site from the other; so that it stays 'up to date' easily.

With respect to that as always, each individual has aheafty '-1's.  Use
them if needed and you honestly a) feel something is going bandly wrong
and b) you are commited to resolve it. I know it is a big stick - but it
can be useful for balance.
