There is a significant difference between the two.
Well, you wrote, in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-June/065908.html "only to find that it doesn't correspond to any particular point in the trunk, because people made changes without contacting me or the Web-SIG. ... Please don't do this again." (where the three dots indicate something that you have done, not somebody else) >From that, I can only conclude that you requested that people should not make changes again without contacting you or the Web-SIG. It's not clear whether you want to be contacted before or after the changes have been made. If "after" is ok, you should just subscribe to python-checkins. Still, Guido dislikes the notion of having to contact anybody when making changes, as a matter of principle. I can sympathize with that view.
