Yes, of course. I agree. However, merely a gentle suggestion that those be in the cleartext of the announcement message as well as perhaps your message can be GPG signed. This is, afterall, the GNU C compiler which is the single most important bit of open source in the world in my ( not so humble ) opinion. All others ( like entire operating systems ) are built with it right?
