Understood.  Not everyone will be as interested as you are in all of
Boost, though.

But if there's a need for something like this, we can make it a
requirement for Boost libraries that they have a publicly-subscribable
mailing list hooked up to their issue tracker, and we can even make it
a service of Boost to aggregate those lists into one boost-issues list
to which you can subscribe.

Or we could decide that Boost policy keeps all project's trackers in
one place.  Options are wide open.
