Hi,
This is an open source project, so developer time is mostly put in by
volunteers. They can only answer questions as time permits.
There is no reason to judge volunteers as "having a stuck up attitude"
when they are just enjoying the weekend with their families (or any
other pastime they might favour) just like you do. If you want a
business-like response time to your questions, please buy a support
subscription for your distribution of choice from a professional company
such as Redhat (and see if they perform any better than this community).
Now, back to your question. Actual updates to the program code are
available on github: https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban. In the
repository is a file named "ChangeLog", which summarizes changes. It
works like this for almost any open-source project.
The moment when a distro updates a package is usually documented by the
distro (as for the OP situation: EPEL package maintainers). I have no
experience with RH-based distros and I'm not inclined to do your
homework for you, so you'll need to find out yourself how and when EPEL
packages are updated. Good luck.
Kind regards,
Tom
NB: I'm not a f2b developer, just someone who is annoyed with your
expectations of the open source community.

Yes I agree, it would be nice to get updates on this list, as they happen.
It would also be nice if they would reply to the posts. But they seem to
have a stuck up attitude.

Is this mailing list in any way affilliated with the f2b dev team?
It would be nice to get notifications of changes and updates to the
software as they happen.
For example, in the most recent update, a number of things seemed to
change in the program code. The name of the ipset groups for
(retrieved for CentOS in the EPEL repository) as well as the log format.
It would be great to get more information on what's being altered. If
not here, where is the best source for that info?
