I've seen this concept before and thought it might be useful in my organization. The general opinion I got back was that people hate email, and the daily digest would be pretty well ignored. Once I was reminded of this, I fully agreed.
In fact, using tools like slack, asana, phabricator, and github enterprise there's an overall goal to do less and less email and something like this would be a step in the other direction.
What we're looking at setting up is a centralized dashboard to tie our tools together and include status updates. The tool I'm looking at is [anthracite](https://github.com/Dieterbe/anthracite https://github.com/Dieterbe/anthracite) which bills itself as an event manager ("an event / change logging/managament app").
On the surface, this looks like something you use to track when code is changed or server changes are made. And that is a lot of it. But it's really a way to display events and you can have pre-made filters of events (call them event streams). You can integrate it with your chat system or email to post status updates by hand, you could have task management systems like asana post updates, etc.
Granted, I'm not entirely sure yet if anthracite is mature enough for what we're looking for, but we definitely are angling for that approach.
