 Tor stable releases are announced on tor-announce [1].
 Tor alpha releases are announced via tor-talk [2].

 The recent security updates to TBB make clear that keeping the userbase
 informed about new releases especially on the client site is crucial for
 security and anonymity.
 Therefore I would suggest to create torbrowser-announce.
 I thinks a separate mailing-list is better because this reduces the noise
 for someone only trying to monitor new TBB releases while not being
 interested in general tor-talk.

 TBB users are also informed via the default startpage, but not everyone
 uses the default page and in some cases the admins responsible for
 deploying updates don't use TBB themself (or read blog.tpo).
