Description
People should be able to subscribe via email for all new releases for a given project. not sure if this should be:
- subscriptions.module (haven't looked at it, not sure if it would be able to do what we need, though it sounds like a) it's not currently in shape to run on drupal.org and b) probably not able to provide exactly what we need).
- some kind of email subscription API in core (see this thread on the development list for some recent discussion on this). again, i'm not positive it would work (the API would have to be very flexible).
- native implementation in here (like project_issue.module does for email subscriptions to issues).
#1
The update status module (now in core) has possibly made this a non-issue.
This feature could be handled by a separate contribution.
#2
The update module works for the project installation on d.o (to some extent), however other sites running project would certainly benefit from the ability to subscribe to release nodes. If we ever revamp project issue subscriptions this would be something we would want to think about doing at the same time.
