FWIW, the only "social network" I use to be updated about releases,
beside this ML of course, is GitHub> Watch> Custom> Releases.

I have dozens (if not hundreds) of such watches, and just added
one for https://github.com/boostorg/boost, for good measure,
despite getting the ML notices (and why I didn't have one before).

Most such email release notices are not very informative,
many with no specific information at all, some a short list, and
some are awesome, like the Bun.sh ones, that systematically
link to a blog post with a very detailed information.

If wanting to improve Boost communication, then please have
a good description of what's in the GitHub release, and/or a link
to a blog post Bun-like with full details. My $0.02. --DD
