"When is version 2 coming out" will not be announced in advance, I'm
afraid. At one point in time it will "have been released" and then
everybody will know about it.

I don't think it would work, since subscribing and unsubscribing to
mailinglists like that would be too much trouble if you can just lurk
debian-user for a while and get the answer. And you still would have to
post a message to debian-user regularly to let people know they exist.
