Is there anyone has been making daily (or hourly!) soaring-specific weather observations (not forecasts) over some extended period of time for a particular place?

Try XCWeather, http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ if you're in the UK, Ireland, 
France, Germany, Italy or Spain.  
For the USA it links through to Windmapper, http://windmapper.com/
These sites collect and display translated METARS and forecasts from all 
airfields that make them available. Hover your mouse over a wind arrow to 
see the latest METAR, click the mouse to toggle between METAR 5-day 
forecast data.

I'm wondering if three's a person is making soaring quality observations, along the lines of (non-soaring) wx discussion at the top of this: http://www.bluehill.org/Data/2015/june/jun09.txt
