As a node owner, what is the most practical way of keeping up with bitcoin-core updates?

The linux kernel has something like kernelnewbies.org that explain the changes to plebs after each release.

Is there something similar out there, easily digestible, for bitcoin-core besides auditing every commit before upgrading my node?

How do I know if some rogue devs didn't create a hard fork on the main bitcoin-core repo?
