If you mean ones we haven't known about before, I've occasionally
searched yum for keywords of things that might interest me hoping to
find something to do a job.

If you mean information about newly released packages (e.g. updates),
I'm signed up to the package-announce list.  Any time an update is
released, I get an email about it.  If the email doesn't provide
anything particularly descriptive about it (as too many don't), then I
can look at the packages website, or do a yum info packagename.
