That would be nice but I suspect it's non-trivial.

The downside is that you could potentially wind up with very old
"news" items if there aren't any new committers or non-new-committer
entries for a while.  You probably need to include a cutoff time
so that entries older than, say 3 months, aren't included.

Are there any other major projects?  I agree this might be nice but
there's a limited amount of space on the home page.
