    http://linux.bkbits.net is your friend.

    Each patch (including security fixes) in the mainline kernels (2.4 and
    2.6) appears there as an individual, clickable link with a description
    (e.g. "1.1551 Paul Starzetz: sys_uselib() race vulnerability
    (CAN-2004-1235)").

    If other patches have gone in since then, you may have to scroll through
    a (short-form) changelog. However, it's still less frustrating than the
    scenario you portray.
