Though it is really cool you are doing all this job, I believe that the way to go is to do it through JIRA. For instance, I have close to no spare time for JSF these days but I really enjoying following the development of the JSF 2.0 implementation through JIRA. I think that offline discussions make the subject more difficult to understand for the rest and even if the task is done effectively keeping others from the loop may harm the project when those who implemented the thing offline cannot help anymore to its maintenance. People comes and goes, so having in JIRA makes it very convenient.
If it is not possible, I would at least create the JIRA issue containing the big changes and explaining what it does. At least it will be in the release notes... Thanks for the work!
