So what? I think it is preferable to have low high quality (or good)
posts in the newsgroup than a bot spamming update for every package in
CTAN. What purpose does it serve that RSS/Atom doesn't? Anyone interested
in discussing a package update can make a thread.

I also like the idea that a separate newsgroup comp.text.tex.ctan to keep
this newsgroup from getting overrun with the announcements. But then it
is redundant with a feed reader.

Agree. It is more work for CTAN team/admin. Better not bother.
