A few weeks ago this happened, and also a possible problem with the correctness of the announcements or the feed was reported. I didn't have time to investigate, so I left it offline, inviting feedback if anyone missed it.

Or, would a new maintainer like to take it on ? If you have feelings about it one way or the other, please reply on-list.
