Lately I find myself feeling quite unmotivated about writing a mostly
boilerplate announcement every time I upload a minor version bump of a
package I maintain.
"stow has been updated from version 2.2.0 to 2.2.2. You can read the
upstream changelog to see what changed. stow is blah blah blah"
Does anyone care about that? Lately I don't. In fact I've skipped sending
the last few, and no one seems to have noticed.
Can we leave it to the maintainer's discretion about whether they need to
send one of those on every update? Maybe it already is, and I didn't know.
Of course some updates are important or need explanation or a headsup, and
then the maintainer should send one.
Andrew
