Please consider cloning the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tz@iana.org">tz@iana.org</a> alias to create a
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tz-announce@iana.org">tz-announce@iana.org</a> style alias. All members should be copied

I would like to receive notification of when a new release
has been issued, but without receiving the messages between
contributors debating the merits of various proposed
changes. Is there a way to configure my mailing list
subscription to only receive release notifications?<br>
<br>
</div>
The mailing list doesn't have any inherent notion of "release
notification" mail vs. other mail, so, no, there isn't a way
to configure the subscription to do that.<br>

Currently, that's not the case, although if you look for
messages containing "code20" or "data20" in the subject line,
that would probably filter out many - but not all - of the
non-release-announcement messages (it would not filter out
discussions in followup messages unless the subject line is
changed).<br>

I'm guessing that, in the future, they'll come from Paul
Eggert (I think there was pretty much a groundswell of "yes"
in response to the proposal that he take over).<br>
<br>
However, we might want to consider having a separate
tz-announce mailing list, for new release announcements (and
perhaps other announcements), and perhaps use Reply-To to
redirect responses to the tz list.<br>
