It seems that an automated process on elpa.gnu.org has started mailing
the info-gnu-emacs list with notices about new versions of packages.
It's a nice feature, but isn't the gnu-emacs-sources list the
appropriate one for such things? IMO, the info-gnu-emacs list is
supposed to be a a very low traffic one with notices about new Emacs
versions only.

Notification of new elpa packages can be as important as notification of
new Emacs versions, at least for some packages.
But perhaps there should be a way for users to register for notification
only for packages they care about?
If reading email with Gnus, it's probably possible to write a filter
that checks what packages are locally installed, and drop all other
messages.

Indeed.

I don't have a strong opinion on this one. I chose the info-gnu-emacs,
because its NNTP name "gnu.emacs.announce" seemed to better reflect the
aim of those messages, but if people prefer the other one that's fine
by me.
