I've no objections against a checkout with a cron job. Unfortunately
cron doesn't work all the time i.e. I've daily cron job which should
update the components websites (all the index.html) but they aren't.
Didn't you just now update shortcutpanel? Just check within 24h if it's
still old. If it wer possible to trigger an update via web than a
maintainer could force it when he changed it. If we just checkout the
readme's the space won't be a problem.

The released files (downloads) aren't accessable as the SF staff told me
but we could add a release date or version to the readme files.

I'd prefer to checkout all the readme files and generate the page
dynamically. The checkout could be done with cron or manually.

Yes it is but only if cron is working. :-(
