That's one of the many ways how you can get involved with Fedora development,
even when you're not a programmer (very likely not true for Xose, looking at
his posts). Someone collects stats of the mailinglists, others maintain
websites with tips&tricks or the update announcements, his list is just another
way of helping.
I think his list is quite useful, as we developers sometimes miss upstream
package updates when we work on other stuff. Sometimes we also wait with an
update until some issues with the new one have been cleaned up, but nonetheless
I appreciate the work he did to compose the list.
