This seems like the logical place to me, but it's also a bit busy for announcements! I'm sure I'm not alone, but sometimes I'm very busy and distracted and I need a very loud signal to let me know I need to take action :) That's why I suggested info-guix. Its description reads: #+begin_quote Subscribe to the info-guix low-traffic mailing list to receive important announcements sent by the project maintainers (in English). #+end_quote Would it make sense to publish there? I don't think we break APIs very often? Also, do we need any kind of formalization around lead-time for these announcements? > A side-note, it seems that Ludovic has been working toward eliminating > the use of match patterns matching the fields directly, instead > encouraging the use of 'match-record', see > https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59390.
