An announce list is standard fare, not like we are talking about something that would be terrible to maintain here.
Create a list that does not allow posts, send it a message when a new package is available. Boom, 0 administration, almost 0 storage, very little resources.
It is good practice and you will get a lot of subscribers that don't want to see the day to day traffic or visit the site constantly.
I think everyone can agree to that. So, who of the CentOS admins can create such a list and make sure developers use it for all updates (and maybe important news items only).
A consistent subject would gain some extra karma points, like:
[NEWS] CentOS 6 RC1 for i386 released [UPDATE] CentOS 3 - kernel, httpd, rpm [UPDATE] CentOS 4 - openldap, lftp
or whatever makes more sense.
