 * For over a year, I have attempted to receive the Release Notification emails 
   by signing up on this page:
    [http://wordpress.org/download/](http://wordpress.org/download/)
 * I’ve tried numerous different email addresses (including addresses with zip, 
   zilch, zero spam filtering) but I have NEVER, EVER received anything from this
   mailing list. Is this list actually used?

 * I’ve never received anything either, I rely on the wp-testers list instead.

 * Scarily enough, there is a plugin that lets you know the second you are out of
   date with WP versions.

 * Interesting. I end up finding out about releases soon enough through the dashboard,
   but I disable the RSS on the dashboard of some of my WP sites, so I signed up
   for the mailing list as a redundancy plan. Perhaps the WP crew should consider
   using the mailing list or removing the sign-up form from the downloads page.

 * Same here. You’d think they would want to use it?
