Feature set is good thing to have per release. It help us in taking decision of upreving u-boot (now or later). 

A suggestion, can we ask feature set details in every pull request from sub-maintainers. 
Or
A blog can also be maintained, where sub-maintainer can write feature set per pull request. 

Sub-maintainers have better idea what feature they are providing.  
Feature set can also be published per sub-system (instead of pick and choose).
