Did it work? FWIW, this list does receive any changes that were pushed to the git repo. As tags are pushed, you'd see that in the "Recent changes" email the next day. Not great, but it's something. I don't announce all releases to twitter, and sometimes it'll be a day or two before I do. Case in point, the 3.12 release hasn't been announced there yet. -- Jens Axboe
