There are the news on the website [1] and also an atom feed is provided.  It 
is even possible to subscribe (watch) to the open-mesh.org project news on 
Redmine to receive mails when a new news was published.

Or you can uscan the the source download folder [3] like I do for batctl in 
Debian [4].

Or you could use the feeds feature of the github [5] and gitlab [6] mirrors.

Or a couple of guys come together and provide a repository with the newest 
package format you like (with DKMS or prebuild binary packages). And then use 
tools like (on debian) apticron + apt-listchanges + MTA to send mails to you 
whenever the server has to be updated. Of course, still means that someone has 
to follow the news but the rest only have to update their server.

Kind regards,
