So how can we do better? I'd posit that it should be impossible to deploy code without leaving an exposed audit trail generated from commit messages, which can in turn be expanded by any interested volunteer into a human-readable and translated summary.
I'd suggest exposing this information to a special page directly in the relevant wiki, say "Special:SiteChanges". This special page would show an automatically generated summary like so:
Yes, yes, please. :D This would be a big step forward.
