But there's other stuff than the (relatively) interesting feature freeze example. There's "hey, we don't use ChangeLogs any more"; "hey, start using 'foo' quotes rather than `blah' quotes"; "hey, remember to do your commit messages like this not like that"; etc. I think almost all announcements will not relevant be for info-gnu-emacs. emacs-devel seems the natural home for such things to me. info-gnu-emacs has 835 subscribers versus 200 committers; don't know what the overlap is. But the main point of this report was to get SOME kind of system. If you want to make and advertise a different system, please do. Eg https://pumprock.net/fsfstatus, s/fsf/emacs ;)
