(e.g. I often get a number of emails when GenomicRanges is down, asking why I'm breaking someone's downstream package). Or if you don't want to push these out to the list, to have a URL where core team could post information about what's going on in devel and rough timelines about upcoming changes. Then developers can pull this information when they need to. thanks for all your work! There are lots of exciting things in the next release, and I know that's it's a lot of work to get to the finish. If it's ok with everyone, I'll address this by just sending email to bioc-devel when there are large-scale build issues. If you see an issue and I don't address it, please email the list.

Re: [Bioc-devel] request for more notices about build issues
Is this a use case for a graphical build report that displays the build status on a graph/DAG? http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/pkgDepTools/inst/doc/pkgDepTools.pdf pkgDepTools, combined with a computable build report (a downloadable version of the current build report), might allow a graphical (in both node and edge as well as visual) build report. I could envision a color scheme applied to a figure like the last figure in the PDF above. A little functionality could be built to find the root of a build problem for any specific package (to the extent that pkgDepTools can capture the dependencies). This is not a well-thought-out answer, so take it with a grain of salt.
