There are many ways to fix this. Forcing some group to do it is not a
solution. One work in progress (that will be proposed in a GLEP) is to
change the current ML system to add a dev announcement list that would
let everyone know of current discussions and decisions without requiring
to follow endless threads. That may cut the "required reading"
sufficiently so that a weekly summary is not necessary.

It's certainly the idea. It should be at least put into words and
discussed in the community before being voted on.
