I think it's nice to hear and give appreciation; doing so privately is
almost always acceptable, and using changelogs and the BTS to do so is
also almost always OK.
As Neil notes, I would avoid sending messages just containing thanks to
the mailing lists unless you're also adding new content to the
discussion.
