So, what are the options for finding out about new releases after
this newsgroup is gone?

Depending on which operating system platform you are using, and, how
it is done for the operating system that you use, in Ubuntu Linux, I
have added the sourceforge ubuntuzilla repository to my sources file,
for upgrades, so that, whenever I perform a system upgrade, that
repository is checked for upgrades to Seamonkey, and, in performing a
system upgrade on my other computer, at present, I have observed that
it is performing an upgrade to Seamonkey.
Which means the repo has a maintainer.
Updates to direct installs from SeaMonkey on any operating system have
been disabled for a long time.
Might the repo maintainer be able to fix it for all of us, or does it do
a complete install over the current version?
It shows (it was done as a command line upgrade, on both of my
computers that I have just upgraded) as an upgrade, rather than as a
new package installation (which is what is shown, for kernel
upgrades).
The package is seamonkey-mozilla-build amd 64 2.53.7-0ubuntu1 so what
I have upgraded, is specific to Ubuntu Linux (as is ubuntuzilla, I
believe), and, I expect that it would not work with Fedora Linux
(which is from (some years ago) Red Hat Linux), which, I believe, uses
rpm packages, rather than deb packages.
What I suggest, is that, for each operating system, the Seamonkey user
does a google search for
seamonkey <operating system name> upgrade
and, hopefully, the results returned, will include a howto, that steps
through the instructions for installing/upgrading seamonkey, for the
particular operating system.
I believe that that is how I found the Sourceforge ubuntuzilla
repository, and, how to apply it, for installing and upgrading
seamonkry on Ubuntu Linux.
