Checking the etc/NEWS file every once in a while (or maybe do it by reading
the emacs-commit list and filtering out anything that's not about etc/NEWS)
allows you to know about changes after they've been applied.

For proposed changes, there's only emacs-devel@gnu.org.

Maybe we should setup a emacs-upcoming-news@gnu.org mailing list that only
gets the diffs applied to etc/NEWS and encourage each and every package
maintainer to subscribe to it.  It'd be pretty low-volume.

And if something looks fishy, you can still try to get it fixed (even if
it's already been applied) by bringing it up on the
emacs-devel@gnu.org list.
