I'll have a look. There are feeds, I'm not sure if they reflect updated statuses.

Julian - 

Assuming you are the Google code boss - can you set GoogleCode up so issue(s) are cc'ed to this mailing list automatically? Does it provide any sort of integration between tickets and the mailing list?

It's a bit annoying having to notify the list that a ticket has been created or changed or whatever.

thanks,

David.
