I don't "do" forums, far to slow an clunky to read messages in forums.  B-)  
Most seem to need to transfer 100 k of eye candy for 2 k of actual, useful, 
message content.

Having said that I appreciate that many only do forums... so even if it 
would be no benefit to me I can see value in having release notes in a 
(dedicated, read only?) forum/topic.

Having read the rest of this thread how "annoyingly different" is the 
format? 

An email > forum posting script might be something I could look at. ie new 
emails arriving in [updatesannounce] get sent to a forum. Maybe via crafted 
URLs etc and wget? It's the latter bit I've not played with and could be a 
stumbling block. This would be automatic run daily under cron and written in 
perl. A private test forum/topic would be also very handy!.

Ultimatey it's the sort of thing that ought to be completely automagic. 
Starting from when yum spots a new update being available or perhaps better 
part of a script that makes the update available. I see that there might be 
scripts about that already do some of these functions.
