Interesting. Never knew that mailing list existed. Thanks! :)

As a question to others here: I'm a long time emacs user and I didn't
know that was the list to follow for library announcements, etc. Are
others already following it for that purpose? I learn about most new
libraries I use simply by following what people on this list mention.
I've been looking for a long time for a more centralized notification
place.

I'm subscribed to -sources (with gmane) and it is there where I expect
to see announcements about new and updated libraries. Contrary to -help,
it is a mailing list with very little traffic, so it is hard to miss an
announcement.

I'd never heard of it.  Which admittedly doesn't mean much.  But I do
have a couple of things I keep up with.
