I wish more companies were doing this. What could be the factor that would prevent all companies to do the same, apart from laziness? Am I the only one interested by the changes that are made on the tools that I like? I'm the kind of guy who reads all release notes.

The Beeminder folks are doing this since 2011 http://uvi.glitch.me/

2633 User-Visible Improvements and counting! We've averaged exactly 1 per day for over 7 years. :) We also tweet them all to http://twitter.com/beemuvi

We use Github Enterprise at my workplace, and I actually subscribe to each organization's RSS feed and get updates on when pull requests are opened, commits are pushed, etc. Though there are some events that aren't published (like pull request review events).

I wish we could subscribe to Pubsubhubbub notifications without needing to register a webhook. Or rather without needing admin privileges to the repo... At least if it's public.

As far as I know, it's not like the pushed notifications include data that isn't available via painful and expensive /scraping. And with PuSH, there could be third party hubs.

I guess I've answered my own questions. Is anyone aware of folks running PuSH hubbubs for GH repos and letting other folks publicly freely subscribe to those notifications? If not, maybe a new item to add to my list...
