Does anyone know of a means to be automatically notified of new fio

I have seen Jens post announcements via Twitter, but that is not a
social media platform I actively use. As far as I can tell, Github does
not provide a means to be notified of new releases.
Perhaps the solution is to monitor http://brick.kernel.dk/snaps/ for new
fio shortlog files.
I think there are few things that are doing monitoring of this.
Repology ( https://repology.org/metapackage/fio/packages ) seems to
have some way of knowing, Fedora seem to use
https://release-monitoring.org/project/806/ and I think Debian have
their own watcher (https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/watch?pkg=fio ). You
might also be able to tell via github
(https://github.com/axboe/fio/releases and I think there are atom
feeds off that page).
Thanks, Sitsofe. That helps a lot. I am actually seeking to be notified
via email of new releases.
I signed up to be notified of fio release-monitoring.org changes via
Fedora notifications (https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications),
although the filter I created only produced example matches with fio-3.8
and did not pick up any later releases.
I also set up an IFTTT rule to receive email messages when updates are
made to the github fio release atom feed
(https://github.com/axboe/fio/releases.atom).
Finally, I signed up to be notified via https://newreleases.io/.
With any luck I should be bombarded with notifications when fio 3.12 is
tagged.
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.
The atom feed for the github releases page now has an entry for fio
3.12. I see it in my news reader and I received an email for it from the
IFTTT RSS feed to email rule I created.
I also received an email from https://newreleases.io.
fio 3.12 has also appeared on
https://release-monitoring.org/project/806/ but I haven't received a
notification from the Fedora Notifications system. Either I've set it up
wrong or it doesn't work.
