It's long lasting issue. I remember some Module
Manager plans (superseded AU client).

You can try new style in usertasks submodule.
There is module-updates.xml following simple
www/updates/updates.dtd and once you invoke:

  ant changelog

it creates/refreshes updates/tasklist-usertasks.html.
Then you just cvs diff followed by cvs commit.
