OpenBSD folks interested in receiving Perl release announcements?

[Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi_(_at_)_iki_(_dot_)_fi>]

Hi,

it's me again about Perl and OpenBSD...

A mailing list is being planned that would carry Perl release
announcements -- and not only maintenance releases but also
development releases.  Actually the whole point revolves around the
latter: the purpose of the list would be to let people of various
operating system platforms to get the prerelease announcements early
enough.

We (the Perl developers) want no out-of-sync situations to develop;
Perl should live long and prosper everywhere: the major point being
that by the time maintenance releases happen, all platforms supported
by Perl should be still be supported.  In Unix platforms such a drift
is of course less likely, but still possible.

There's perl5-porters_(_at_)_perl_(_dot_)_org, yes, but it's a high-volume list.  The
traffic of this new list would be really low: only sender would be a
small gnome living at the depths of CPAN (when it detects a new Perl
release, it sends out an announcement) and by far the most frequent
would be the developer release announcements, about twice a month.

A cycle of "sh Configure -ders && make all test && make ok" is the
minimal incantantion: if everything is just fine, this will send an
"OK" email to perlbug_(_at_)_perl_(_dot_)_org_(_dot_)_  If the "test" target fails, then a
"make nok" would be appreciated: that will ask for more detail, such
as the output of "cd ./t && ./perl harness".

So, is there interest?  If there is, what would be the appropriate
email address to send these announcements?
