We also have microblogged about it (micronews.debian.org) and it will be 
mentioned in the next Debian Project News issue (and thus, mailed and published 
in the website under /News).

BTW, the DPN is open for editions, contributions welcome (and needed).

Cheers

Yes. In any case, those dates (as well as links to the announcement) are also
available from https://release.debian.org/

Messages to debian-devel-announce@ by DPL delegates within the scope
of their responsibilities are official. This is explicitly called out
in /releases/testing:

manager to the debian-devel-announce mailing list.

why hasn't the debian transition freeze been announced or shared in debin testing info. or bits.debian.org ?

[shirish शिरीष]

Dear all,

I had read https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/04/msg6.html
so knew when the transition freeze is going to happen. For a blog
post/technical article I wanted to share about the transition freeze
and went to https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ as well as
https://bits.debian.org/ but neither seems to have that info.

Shouldn't be the milestone including perhaps info. on tentative alpha
releases be put somewhere or are the dates subject to change ?

If the dates are locked down, it would be nicer to be able to
share/link to an official page on debian website rather than just an
e-mail.

Looking for info.
