+1 Publishing logs on mailinglist serves two purposes: 1) keep people inform about what is going on 2) let some people think about what is going on.

I'm curious whether these logs are actually read? Logs have begun to be published in the last couple of months, but I never see any comments on ML about stuff within the logs. For me, reading logs is tedious and de-humanizing compared to reading IRC live.
Despite I read it I agree with you on it needs some comments or maybe summarize it for human beings not completely following the thread. The problem I can see summarizing it is logs interpretation. That's because it is a log and not executive summarize. :-) Even though an Executive Summarize is a good start point of discussions or comments or adding solutions it would take a huge time or efforts from people involved on that task ( not always recognized ).
I think if we really want to get people to constructively comment, we have to not be so automated (i.e. publishing logs and be done with it) but to actually come about and write a summary. The problem with that is it requires commitment and time. It is a concept that in its one instance a year ago proves it is worthwhile, but at the same time, risky because it involves points of failure in implementation.
+1 Exactly
Perhaps maybe we agree to form a group of volunteers to write these summaries? I have no problem doing it, but won't do it if I'm the only person. That's why I decided not to continue doing it last year because I didn't want that much weight on me.
Definitely it is too much weigh just for one person. In any case, logs summarize is implemented will need a disclaimer note (summarize is an interpretation not the log so go to read the log)
