Mail to root is sadly not really useful any more (and anyway, does someone with a cluster of 1000 machines really want 100000 mails a week?). And I'm afraid I'm one of those old farts who thinks that everything-over-http/html is really quite lame. How about mailing lists debian-{testing,unstable}-announce, with the following properties: * installing testing or unstable causes a debconf notification to ask the user to subscribe * the package name is at the start of the subject line * we provide a simple script which turns the installed packages into Exim, sieve and procmail filters, as part of some suitable package, and perhaps run it out of cron. * messages signed by DDs and every incoming message must have a Reply-To (usually either <package>@packages.d.o or debian-devel or something).
