I know these may be fighting terms but I'm going to say it anyways..:)
With FreeBSD they do have a mailing list that is just for changes done to
files in the system as you see below:

I know that having announcements of this sort on a separate list makes it
easy to have procmail just archive the announcements in a sepearate

group does.
