I like this idea, and if it's human-moderated then it would solve the
problem of multiple upgrade notices from Microchip. Not that it's too much
of a problem since they only arrive in flurries a few times a year.

I'm assuming you're planning to include other things beyond Microchip stuff,
e.g. popular compilers, bootloaders, etc.

Hmmm, now I come to think of it there could be quite a lot of info
available.  You could give it a distinct tag so that folks who don't want it
can zap it.

Alternatively you could possibly run a separate list for announcements of
new products and upgrades for all things Pictish.
