I have created address@hidden  To subscribe to it, two options:

- https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bison-announce
- mailto:address@hidden

This list will be limited to announcing releases (betas and stable releases), 
and maybe sometimes to announce important changes to get feedback.

It has been asked to explicitly mark releases on git, so that CIs can trigger 
builds automatically with these releases.  This is already the case: tags mark 
releases (betas and stable).  The tags are always "v<VERSION>", e.g., "v3.2", 
"v3.2.4", etc.  If monitoring tags is inconvenient, releases always have a git 
commit (the tagged one) whose title is "bison <VERSION>" and that looks like 
this:

> $ git show v3.2.4
> tag v3.2.4
