We (collectively) need to get a lot better about not merely signaling what is coming up, but what the results of these decisions are. If you look here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings
...you could be forgiven for thinking the RFC meetings are [not] something we do anymore. Basically, you have to be subscribed to this mailing list, and then, if you miss the time, fish through the logs here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2014/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold :-) Collective responsibility requires collective action.
The logs definitely should end up on mediawiki.org; I strongly agree that relying on tools.wmflabs.org is a bad idea. It looks like MeetBot is already generating wiki output, so having a bot post to the wiki would probably be a small task. I'd suggest filing a task.
For a record of meetings, it looks like we already have a decent on-wiki index of past meetings and we can always iteratively improve that. No big deal. (This is another area where MeetBot might be able to help.)
In addition to needing to be subscribed to this list in order to receive announcements about upcoming meetings, you also have to remember to attend the meeting during the day and you have to do so using IRC. I find setting an alarm on my phone and using webchat.freenode.net mitigate these obstacles well enough for me. Is it perfect? No, but c'est la vie.
