I could create the announce ML, but really, alioth already provides all
users with the new release tracking.  Is there a real need?

As for 2.2 in Sarge, please *do* *not*.  We shall support Sarge thorugh
backports in alioth, and even backports.org.  But unless Sarge takes a few
months to release, we are better off not trying to get a not fully stablized
cyrus package into it.

Those could go to this ML as well.

I think you can. I will check.

I did, I am monitoring the packages :P and I did an unhide in the
experimental package to give you a hint that you could release anytime you
want...

Feel free to do so on debian-user as well.
