Actually, that's one place they *don't* go in advance. The first mail to -stable-announce is at the point that processing of uploads is already frozen. (They do go to -project@ldo, amongst others, which is also generally not too busy.) Sending to d-d-a would require a second mail in each case, as the main announcement is to debian-release@ BCCed to several other lists and team aliases. From memory of previous discussions, dda was avoided both for that reason and because it doesn't really capture the right audience (not everyone who cares about point releases is a DD, and "many" DDs don't particularly care about stable updates). If it would help, we could easily add an additional address to the notification list. Regards, Adam
