Great, thanks for the feedback, Rahul! This is indeed useful feedback.
I don't think announcements to devel-announce list should be mingled with general announcement. The initial summary should cover only major announcements and devel-announce mails should be in a separate development beat.
Pascal, could you avoid top-posting? It leads to confusing quoting situations like the above :)
I agree with Rahul, however we're still suffering from the lack of anyone to write a development beat, I believe, which makes it less practical. I was going to volunteer for this a while back, but realized I just don't have the time :(
Yes, the development beat is really key, and we need to find someone for this. I wonder if we could kick this up to FESCo to see if they could identify/persuade someone to revive?
As a side note, I also spoke to David Nalley when I was at Ohio Linux Fest this past weekend about reviving the security advisories beat (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats/SecurityAdvisories). David just doesn't have time right now to do this, and is going to try to find someone.
David, I thought about this over the weekend, and I think this is a beat I could pick up, if need be. Seems like just a matter of subscribing to the fedora-package-announce mailing list and aggregating the items marked security for the beat for the various releases?

It's better not to subscribe to that list - it's a ton of traffic. I use(d) the archives sorted by date to generate the list. It takes me somewhere between 5 and 45 minutes depending on how many updates, security updates, etc. If you want it, feel free to take it, otherwise, I'll try and find someone in the coming weeks.
