When the token "announce" is present for a build job (in addition to
"deploy"), after a successful deploy, calm will automatically generate and
send an announce email.
The mail follows a similar format to that generated by "cygport announce",
containing a list of packages and the description, with the following
addition:
* If the cygport defines the variable "ANNOUNCE", it's evaluated contents
will be appended to the generated mail.
* Otherwise, if the source package contains an ANNOUNCE file [2], it's
contents will be appended.
* Otherwise, if the source package contains a README or ${PN}.README file,
lines that look like part of a changelog, between one starting with '----
${PVR}' and the next starting '----', will be extracted and appended
(None of these seem like a particularly great way of doing things, but they
match some historical patterns. As always, suggestions about improvements
are welcome.)
In accordance with our long-standing policy of treating maintainer email
addresses as private information, the mail is sent from cygwin-no-reply and
bcc'ed to the uploader.
For testing purposes, if the token "mock" (yes, I am running out of synonyms
for "test"...) is also present, the mail will be only sent to the uploader,
not the announce list.

[2] Note that this isn't currently part of the default value of CYGWIN_FILES
[3], so needs to be explicitly listed there to be included in the source
package

Unfortunately I started the OpenSSH 9.6 build before reading this here,
but that's some great addition.

I'd also appreciate to prefix the mail with an "[ANNOUNCEMENT] " tag as
for the mails forwarded from cygwin-announcement to cygwin before that
was stopped, to enhance the overview in users' mailboxes.
