Also wrestling with this challenge at the moment and curious to hear experiences from others. Even though it requires human input, the capture and the way it's updated has to get automated.

Completely agree the manual capture is exactly where it breaks down every time. Curious, what's your current setup? GitHub + Slack or something different?
