There's a mailing list of release announcements:

  There is also the sylpheed-announce ML (sylpheed-annou...@sraoss.jp)
  which deals only with release announcements.

I suppose this has been added after the bug got reported. In any case
now you can disable it in configure, since I think makes little sense
in Debian, and close the bug.

Best regards,
José Luis
