FWIW, I did the same and ended up where you did.<br>

So a packaging toolchain specific changelog/announcement channel
likely makes sense.

Based on another of Nick's posts, it seems like this mailing list
would want to include "significant" news/announcements for the
following areas:<br>
<ul>
<li>PyPI-the-service</li>
<li>PyPI-the-software-project</li>
<li>PyPA-the-ecosystem</li>
</ul>
<p>IMO, these areas are often linked and someone who is interested
in one of them is likely interested in the others or, at least,
not very annoyed at the prospect of seeing announcements related
to them.<br>
</p>
So, setting up the list and the twitter connection is likely pretty
easy. However, it won't work unless those who are doing the work in
these areas are willing to "flag" the changes happening that need to
be communicated on the packaging-announce list. Who would those
people be and do they like this idea enough to be willing to support
it? Is there some kind of PyPA board or committee that would need
to be a part of this decision?
