I will readily admit that it doesn't immediately meet all of your
criteria, but one possible venue especially if you are only interested
in a few specific packages might be to point e.g. rss2email at the
package events RSS feed available through tracker.debian.org. At that
point you can use typical email filtering to further filter it down to
only those events you are interested in (for example, only those that
mention "into stable").
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I already researched that
and there are problems.
The RSS news feed would not be needed in this case. Tracker can already
send emails directly to you.
There is the debian-chan...@lists.debian.org and
debian-devel-chan...@lists.debian.org mailing lists, if you want to get
notified for everything.
Otherwise, you can select specific packages and keyword/event types
through the web interface. Register, login, and then add your subscriptions:
https://tracker.debian.org/accounts/subscriptions/
Like I think I said in my original email, Tracker is
dev/source-oriented, not user/package-oriented. Notifications are sent
out when new source or other uploads are accepted into the archive. This
is not the same thing as a new package version becoming available for
download in the repos. Many packages have completely different source
and package names (The linux kernel for example), and of course
architecture is usually not considered at all, unless it's a binary upload.
