I have followed mame for years but unless you are diehard following the WIP or pouring over the lengthy changelogs its often difficult to know what the significant changes are with each version.
I think it would be awesome if someone released a changelog for casual mame users with game name, romset name, the contributing devs, and a quick note in plain english describing the change. This wouldnt be necessary for every game (but it could be if someone wanted to) but I am envisioning the major updates for each version in terms of emulating games that werent previously possible, adding sound to games that were previously silent, major bug fixes that fix games that weren't really playing before, etc.
I envision something like this
Mame 0.155
Raiden 2 (raiden2, raiden2dx,raiden2e.raiden2ea,raiden2eu,raisden2eua.raiden2g,raiden2hk,raiden2i,daiden2j,raiden2nl,raiden2u) [Angelo Salese, Olivier Galibert] Game protection finally defeated after 10+ years and game fully playable
Zero team (zeroteam,zerotm2k, etc. etc.) [Olivier Galibert, David Haywood] Game protection finally defeated after 10+ years and game fully playable
Etc.............
