MAMEDEV.ORG already has an area that someone goes through great lengths to attempt to keep updated periodically with information as related towards machines which have condition flags: http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Non-Working_Drivers
You can either search for a driver (sometimes a specific setname) and come up with the reason why something is flagged. Once a condition changes, these are adjusted.
Outside of that, the users themselves owe it to themselves to do a little research by reading whatsnew.txt document with monthly releases to see if a particular issues has been resolved/improved. Of course, we always encourage all who are able to view up to the minute GIT progress which can be seen here: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commits/master
