AW: Include user mailing list for RC release?

We used to do so, even cut beta releases so people could test them years ago. Back then nobody tried the betas so we stopped doing them. I'm not saying we shouldn't include the user mailing list, let's just do that. I'm just a bit pessimistic this would have caught the problem.
