That's a list for maintainers, not users. E.g. not something you would
post announcements of new packages in. But of course James and anyone
else doing packaging is welcome to join it, I believe all repos not
hosted on redhat.com are on this list.

FWIW I don't feel like James is spamming this list. His work is focused
around EOL'd releases that have been picked up by Fedora Legacy. The
user group he is targeting *is* on this list.
