E-mail is okay, but it is not synchronous. A separate mailing list seems fine, and I think everything going into browse.dgit.debian.org could be posted to the same (new) list, using some standardized machine-readable format. Long-term, I think I would prefer something synchronous instead, but this is really not an urgent request, mostly a question if there already exists some method to get notifications of new tag2upload tags somehow. /Simon
