status.xml is not kept accordingly in all cases and I really fear noone
will ever add changes to some document stored somewhere else (in Daisy
for example).

I think it's not a matter of how I edit the document but more a where do
I edit it. Handling the changes xml document really requires a minimum
of XML as you just have to add an entry element and add your text inbetween.

Since we are using maven I'd much rather utilize what is already provided than invent something new. The whole point of maven is to allow developers already familiar with it to know what to do and where to find it.

Yes. Then I will setup the src/changes/changes.xml files in our modules because I guess that nobody wants to write a "StatusReport" module for Maven. As I said before this solution comes with the downside that the description doesn't allow mixed content. Instead of having no changes reports this is acceptable ;-)
