An announce list is standard fare, not like we are talking about
something that would be terrible to maintain here.
Create a list that does not allow posts, send it a message when a new
package is available. Boom, 0 administration, almost 0 storage, very
little resources.
It is good practice and you will get a lot of subscribers that don't
want to see the day to day traffic or visit the site constantly.

That would work, I could filter based on it.

IMHO.
Different people have different needs and interests. I'm already part of
other communities like my local LUG. So I'm mostly interested in
Announces from Centos, not really in "how do I burn CDs?" and the like.
