Technically both of RELENG_7 and any RELENG_7_x are covered by the freebsd-stable@ mailing list, although there is not usually any great amount of traffic to do with the progress of new releases there. Also, RELENG_7 is a development branch: patches and updates are added to it all the time without any special fanfare or announcements; although right now as we're in the middle of a release process, that's being controlled by the Release Engineering team and is limited to bug fixes and release preparations. If you really want to track all the activity on RELENG_7 then you can join one of the lists that distributes CVS e-mails. This is the most appropriate one for your purposes: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-src Even so, that contains all the messages about all the commits to all the branches of the src collection, not just to RELENG_7. You'll need to filter it pretty stringently to pull out just the stuff you're interested in. I believe there is an internal FreeBSD service somewhere which provides quite fine grained filtering, but it may only be available to people with @freebsd.org accounts. (I saw it mentioned on a mailing list many years ago but I've mostly forgotten what I knew about it.)
