Thanks, Sitsofe. That helps a lot. I am actually seeking to be notified 
via email of new releases.

I signed up to be notified of fio release-monitoring.org changes via 
Fedora notifications (https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications), 
although the filter I created only produced example matches with fio-3.8 
and did not pick up any later releases.

I also set up an IFTTT rule to receive email messages when updates are 
made to the github fio release atom feed 
(https://github.com/axboe/fio/releases.atom).

Finally, I signed up to be notified via https://newreleases.io/.

With any luck I should be bombarded with notifications when fio 3.12 is 
tagged.
