Ok, let's do that then. SOP is to use the bug reporting form contained on the
website, which posts a bug report to pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org, which is the
canonical bugreport list. That is if we want to get that formal.

Yes, it can. I can use steganography to issue an RPM release announcement,
too. But will it be effective? :-)

If it isn't read, it won't be acted upon. His announcements have been a
difficult read, that's all. The substance is OK; the presentation is lacking,
IMHO.
