Re: announcement lists

I think it's package@bugs.debian.org actually, but I'm not sure; I
only occasionally get mail to it -- all of it inappropriate
(everything I've gotten to xbase@<> in particular should have either
gone to debian-user or to submit@bugs, mostly the latter...)

Huh? the "package" addresses don't lead to email storing *anywhere* --
they just forward directly to the listed package maintainer.  If the
maintainer knows of an announce list, they can subscribe themselves
(or <package> if they wish to); often there isn't one, and the package
is only announced to c.o.l.a...

If it's practical for the maintainer to use, the "watch" stuff that
deb-make sets up already exists.  I haven't really had too much
trouble finding out about new releases, though...
