The rest of what you blathered about is in your head, I only ever

You want announcements on Twitter, you make it happen.
As it happens, Twitter is DEAD. Ask that idiot @elonmusk -- he'll
confirm it for you. He calls it đť•Ź. The domain remains "twitter.com"
because they've likely hard-coded it into too many places to make a
feasible switch-over to "x.com" possible.
It's also dead because how how things are being run there. It's a site
for misinformation. "OpenBSD 7.5 is released" isn't misinformation,
it's fact, so has no place on twitter.com or x.com. It's also news
about an open-source free-software project, something that also is
off-topic for twitter.com and x.com.
But, that's beside the point. There's an API there… it's not rocket
science to write a script that takes an email from `stdin`, scrapes the
subject line and a hyperlink, then slaps that into a HTTP POST request…
then configure your mail server to call it on receipt of an email.
I for one, am thankful they provide this project at all. OpenBSD and
its spin-off projects like OpenSSH… have made the Internet a better
place. The OpenBSD team owe us (you included), nothing.
They already give plenty. And I've given this thread enough attention.
