user1878: I want to follow the most up to date developments of Bitcoin, (such as M of N transaction confirmation).
Who are the primary developers of Bitcoin and what is the most efficient way to track the progress of this and similar activities?
I'm interested in reading either a detailed activity view, or a high level bullet point of key developments.  Ideally someone would offer both information formats as an answer.

A nice summary view would include the following ideas and a status on testnet and on the production network:

IPv6 support 
Zero confirmation AKA miner promise


user323: The core developers are listed on the main Bitcoin page, while everyone that contributed code are listed on the About page. Probably the most up-to-date info on what is happening with the code would be on the GitHub repo.
