I am not sure whether it is really required to post these changes
every week here, because not every one is interested in reading the
code changes. I hope the code review page helps to find out all the
changes for an extension/component

That is true. Community is definitely NOT interested to know the technical details of all the updates.

But these type of changes (like the change in shortcut key) which affect the typing habit of users needs to be communicated to commuity (here Indic wikimedians), at least in this list.

How you know

Small correction, this fix was not done during hackathon, but before
that. And for Opera in OSX, shortcut is control+command+m.

We post the i18n deployment notes in Mediaiwiki-i18n list , one or two
days before deployment.
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n

Gerard blogs about the deployment , see
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/12/12/going-live-december-12-2011/ and
he plans to do this blog post for every deployment.

If anybody is interested particularly in some extension, they can
follow all the commits to that path in subversion For eg:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Code/MediaWiki&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fextensions%2FWebFonts
gives all the code changes happened in webfonts.

I am not sure whether it is really required to post these changes
every week here, because not every one is interested in reading the
code changes. I hope the code review page helps to find out all the
changes for an extension/component

Another way to find out planned revisions for i18ndeploy is looking at
this tag: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/tag/i18ndeploy

Happy to help.
