  I was going to object that they are in fact logged to aptitude-hg,
when I remembered that there is no aptitude-hg list, and what I'm
thinking of is the mailbox where the latest items on the rss feed at

    http://hg.debian.org/hg/aptitude/head?style=rss

  are logged; I run rss2email as a cronjob to keep up-to-date on it.

  Because there's an RSS feed for the repository, it seemed redundant to
me to set up a mailing list.  But I know that it's yet another
technology for people to deal with: would the two of you prefer that I
set up some sort of email announcement?  (I'd rather create an
aptitude-hg list and send commits there, to keep this list clutter-free)

  BTW, if you have Internet access, you can also run "hg incoming" to
get this information.
