The main announcement list I know of, and try to use consistently, is
tex-archive@math.utah.edu. I think it would be a good thing if every
new release of anything that goes on ctan (or elsewhere!) was
accompanied by a message to tex-archive.
Aside: I could even envision some folks (me, for instance) liking an
automatically generated message -- ``the files on ctan that changed
today'' (or this week, or this month).
