Best way to monitor new version announcements?

I'm currently playing the IP compliance game with Tomcat and have
jumped through all their hoops so far but just now need to implement a
process of monitoring annoucements of new versions so we can assess
whether we need to upgrade or not.

Currently that involves me reading tomcat-user but that isn't going to
be acceptable and is actually quite cumbersome to do especially just
to wade through to find announcements (that isn't what I do but others
in the company would). I saw there is a general Jakarta announcement
list at http://mail-archives.eu.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-announcements/
but that doesn't seem to include Tomcat announcements even though it
seems the perfect place for it.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to accomplish what I am
after apart from having someone vist http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat
every X days to check? I guess I could write a screen scraper that did
that and monitored for new versions but that seems a little extreme to
do something simple.
