Sure, but there is a "project" and "news" mailing list for that precisely purpose: to allow users seeing what's going on inside the project and Debian next steps or proposed directions. *** Discussions about non-technical issues in the project Discussion about non-technical topics related to the Debian Project. *** *** Debian News, weekly and otherwise General news about the distribution and the project. The current events and news about Debian are summarized in the Debian Weekly News, a newsletter regularly posted on this list. *** For instance, it was recently published there that wheezy will get kernel 3.2, what's the current status of gnome3 in wheezy, etc... very useful stuff. > The announcement of the availability of WPA in d-i'll probably be done > when Wheezy's released, Publishing a new feature at the Release Notes is too late for people can test and debug that feature properly, don't you think? ;-( > in the same way that there wasn't a "we're now > defaulting to grub2 in testing" announcement when Squeeze was > "testing"; I've just googled "grub2 > site:lists.debian.org/debian-announce" and "grub2 > site:lists.debian.org/debian-news").

There is "testing" list but I'm afraid is mostly "package-centric": *** Testing packages' upgrade announcements Changes to the "testing" distribution are announced here. This includes various bugfixes. *** Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
