The lists are for active participation in developement and discussion of common issues and the impact of changes (for instance, the new dbm code for the password file that allows more than 20 or so aliases in the aliases file). They aren't for release announcements or bug reporting. Contact information has been provided both in the patchkit documentation (for FreeBSD) and in the NetBSD documetation (for NetBSD). I think the only thing I would serve by posting addresses here is a bunch of "my serial driver doesn't work" and "why don't you implement this" messages to the lists by people who haven't gotten a satisfactory answer from the net and don't know how to use "sendbug". If you care enough to dig the information out and want to code, etc., the information is available. That's about all I can say about it.
