debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org gets all the announcements,
debian-devel@lists.debian.org gets most of the discussion. As you may
well have picked up by now.
There's a FAQ at http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/poolfaq which might
answer some questions. It's intended for a developer audience more than
a user audience, but Debian users are meant to be the cream of the crop,
so maybe that's not a problem.
You can probably already guess a fair bit about how the package pool
works just by poking around in /debian/pool and /debian/dists/sid on
ftp.debian.org (or your favourite mirror), and looking through some
Packages files, to see what they say.
FWIW, HTH, etc.
Cheers,
aj

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
