Maybe, maybe not. We're supposed to continue with fedora.us releases,
and since we have lost fedora-package-announce(a)fedora.us, there
haven't been any package announcements anymore.

If it could be automated, that would be very good, e.g. like "rawhide
report". So far, not every packager has posted announcements. The
list archives cover maybe 50% of the published packages and updates.
Maybe even less.
imho this should be automated. Most people just use
fedora-pkgannfmt
anyway, which could probably just be run as the bult packages are copied
to their respective directories !?
