This is really passive aggressive. How do I unsubscribe from this > unwanted release monitoring service? the-new-hotness subscribes to the messages published by release-monitoring.org and files a Bugzilla bug on the package. Many packagers find this helpful, but (as you've found) it's possible to turn off. If you do this, the-new-hotness publishes a message saying it saw the message from release-monitoring.org, but isn't acting on it. Fedora has a notification system that also subscribes to all these messages and sends emails or irc messages to you when certain messages are received.
