Junio posts on the list when there's a new release, e.g. https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqwoxw6kkk.fsf@gitster-ct.c.g...

It seems that https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-packagers is the closest thing to a formal announcement list that there is.

Okay, I guess that tie continues for historical reasons. At least people who don't otherwise subscribe to LKML can still receive Git release announcements via the second link.

I presume Git 2.18 (the first release supporting protocol v2) will be announced via both channels once it's out.
