One of the main things I try to do here is to look for answers to questions before I post them, and the devs are usually very quick to answer. This means that looking for dev posts specifically is a great way to find official answers.
With that said, a feature other games and sites have is a section where you can see dev responses. I can't imagine it would be very easy to implement, or that it should be a high priority, but this feature would be fantastic.
For example, Blizzard fansites have blue post compilers that show all of the dev posts
I have checked that out and while nice, it has some flaws.
It relies on a single person to compile, which however awesome the person is, is prone to error. My bigger issue though is that I can't check the posts chronologically, so once I have read the entire list, I can't come back at a later time and see what new dev posts have been posted.
I can assure you, it's not maintained by only one person. While one person posts, all mods add to it. You just might not see our names attached to it. We also communicate directly to the Devs, and they provide feedback and extra information that gets added here. Some of the quotes found here will not be found elsewhere on the forums. New quotes are added to their appropriate sections, at the bottom of the post. While this isn't ideal, it is what we have to work with for the moment. We will look into other possible solutions.
Also, if you are in a thread, and want to see what a Dev has said, there's a handy button you can click that will take you right to their post.
Unfortunately not, but each quote should take you to the actual post if you click the >> next to it. Other than that, the bottom ones are the newest. Might be a good idea for us to start adding dates to each quote.
It's largely me who maintains the thread but everyone helps, and fortunately the quote system is good at preventing errors. We all flag redname posts to add to it, and I personally scan their post history at least once a week. It's organised by category, and beyond the quotes that were assembled at that thread's creation, all new posts are added to the end of their relevant category. I post every time it's updated with the categories that have new additions to help you find them.
That does help! Right now I am trying to find a way to satiate my desire to see the last X dev responses in chronological order, without the need to scroll through multiple categories (I do like the categories concept, just not all the time), and without the need to post the quotes twice.
If I come up with anything I will be sure to reach out. Thank you for all of your work! I will be using your thread!
A workaround for now would be to Follow/Subscribe to all the Red Staff - this way it pops up in your notifications when they do post. Not the most elegant, but it's how I've been keeping track of the Redders (Just don't tell them that though, they might start using dark magic to hide their tracks).

D&D Beyond FoundersThere is a post where the developer posts are compiled and indexed, which you might find useful!
You'll find the link on many of the forum signatures of the moderators. :)

A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
Is there a way to see the dev posts chronologically on that post? I wasn't aware all mods could add to that thread. That is good to know!

Hi Hobbes, I hope Calvin is well!
