Regarding kernel maintenance, mostly from the point of view of security,
which is the best way to go:
1) Having gentoo-sources in /var/lib/portage/world, which would mean the
sources would be upgraded whenever portage marks a newer version as stable
(provided someone follows stable)?
2) Not having gentoo-sources in /var/lib/portage/world, which would mean the
sources would be upgraded only as a dependency for some other package (which
is quite improbable/rare)?
A good way to be kept informed of new software releases is by mailing list.

By the way I recommend you to subscribe to the announce lists of all
software that matters to you. For example, gentoo-announce (which
carries important notices such as glsa notices and new Gentoo
releases), gcc-announce, etc.
Just subscribed to gentoo-kernel.
:-) Thanks.
