You can add yourself, it's a majordomo list. Here's my announce from
when I started it:
: Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 10:23:47 +0200
: Subject: daily "paul's diff" output available via mailing list
:
: Some of you may remember the diffs I posted a couple of times; these
: diffs show which packages are either not yet available for Alpha or are
: out of date (i.e. a (newer) version exists in the i386 dist).
:
: I've automated the generation of this diff, and made it available to
: anyone who's interested. Send mail to majordomo@murphy.nl and put in the
: body a line such as:
:
: subscribe debian-alpha-diff
:
: You can add an email address at the end if you want to subscribe a
: different address than your default "From: ". In all cases you'll have
: to confirm the subscription.
:
:
: Alternatively, if you don't want a daily message, you can get the last
: couple of messages from ftp://ftp.murphy.nl/pub/debian/alpha/ . The most
: recent one is available as the file "diff" (a symlink to the most recent
: diff, which have names as "diff-YYMMDD"; eventually about 2 weeks worth
: will be kept).
