That's going to be pretty difficult since we're all working
towards RC1 by producing RC1/GAs of our own sub-projects.

e.g. I'm trying to get the final Beta out of the all 
Microcontainer stuff so we can then get on to the final 
bug fixes/tasks for RC1/GA

I'd suggest three things:

1) If anybody changes build-thirdparty.xml, then send a message to list
(copy Paul as well to get his attention :-).

2) Paul monitors build-thirdparty.xml
http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/jbossas/trunk/build/build-thirdparty.xml?view=log
That will catch people not doing (1) and it is a least an indication
that something changed, even if it might require looking at the
dependencies of what changed to get the full picture.

3) You should be able to get most of the changes by doing an svn merge
of the diff between 70847 (the revision at the start of your branch)
and "head".
