I think there are two separate problems here, 

1) Given that an update was sent to committers@, is it ok to quote it or
summarise it or mention its existence or non of the above

2) Where should updates be sent to


The latter is being debated on infra-dev@.  The former I'm unhappy with
quoting a committers@ annoucement wholesale, that doesn't set a good
precedent for that (private) list.
