Hi Everybody, I am definitely in favor of a new low traffic channel to distribute major news, I share Richard's opinion, I also find it difficult to keep up in the dev mailing list. Personally, I would suggest using something more generic like "jenkins-announcement" and maybe using tags in the subject but we should keep it read-only and very low traffic
While I am not a big fan of the Google group, it remains the easiest solution :/. I wouldn't be in favor of using the Sendgrid mailing list, mainly for access management.
