Hi Frank,
R-packages (https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages) should be the correct list for those announcements.
A quick check of a few recent posts shows that they are being forwarded to R-Help as well.
It is however a low volume list. 116 posts in 2010, 77 in 2011, 72 in 2012 and 25 so far in 2013. The trend would seem to be downward.
Regards,
Marc Schwartz
