Is it possible to keep the website DSA archive synchronized with the
latest bulletins and revisions ?

DSAs will appear after they were released and distributed via mail.  This
can take days if not weeks.  It's not remotely as reliable as via mail.

Yes.

You may want to drop the web team a note to include it (debian-www@lists...)
