I will readily admit that it doesn't immediately meet all of your criteria, but one possible venue especially if you are only interested in a few specific packages might be to point e.g. rss2email at the package events RSS feed available through tracker.debian.org. At that point you can use typical email filtering to further filter it down to only those events you are interested in (for example, only those that mention "into stable"). -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
