 Actually, I already export as an XML flow the updates to the 
ChangeLog as part of the update (every hour) of the page at 
   http://libvirt.org/ChangeLog.html
the informations are extracted first to an XML file 
   http://libvirt.org/ChangeLog.xml
before being formatted and rendered to the site style using
the XSLT found in the documentation directory.

Generating an RSS feed from it should not be hard.
cvs2rss seems to depends on other CVS to web gateway, so I'm
not too tempted to use this.
