Please set up a mechanism to communicate important announcements
(feature freezes, all documentation now to be in esperanto, that kind of
thing) to developers. It's been discussed before but nothing ever
happened. I still favour an emacs-devel Mailman "announce" topic, but
anything will do, so please don't spend ages discussing the very best
way. A web page to check, whatever.

It's not reasonable to expect all developers to follow this (very noisy)
list to get such information.
(I'm considering disabling my subscription; I think I'd get more done.)
