So here is what I personally get from those announcements:

- - since I'm a stable maintainer, when a gate failure occurs, we
usually have a habit of checking whether there were any recent library
releases. So I go to the list and check recent announcements.
Sometimes it becomes obvious to understand what's the coolprit, since
they contain not only version numbers, but also brief changelogs.
Sometimes announcement transforms into a thread if something goes
wrong due to release. So it's a good place to discuss any gate issues.

- - since I'm an oslo liaison for neutron, I find it extremely helpful
to track which new features are coming into the libraries, or when it
comes to a new library, I consider the official announcement as a sign
that now we're ok with consuming its releases.

For the 2nd case, weekly digest would also work. For the 1st one, not
at all.

PS: I am not subscribed to announce list. Though I am ok to do so if
we push announcements there. (Do we have a way to *discuss* releases
there though?)
