I don't think we should stop announcing new releases on the web site,
and, as long as we do, people can setup automated actions. People keep
asking for being notified, so I don't think the need for that will go
away, either. IOW, it is a good thing that automated reactions to new
releases are actually possible.

Now, with respect to these specific email messages: I agree they are
spam, and would support to see that stopped. However, I don't think
technical means are the right reaction. Instead, we should send them an
email message asking them to stop. Feel free to approach them.
