Hi Pine, sent a message ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Recent_changes_patrol&diff=906393864&oldid=902955627) to Wikipedia talk:Recent changes patrol. Technical village pump receives tech news, so I believe it isn't necessary to write an explicit message there.
I totally understand what you say, that's the reason why I wrote a notification in advance to this list.
