Sure, try ecos-cvs@sources.redhat.com. You can subscribe at

The information is not quite as useful as you might think. The only
revision information currently in the anonymous CVS tree is that we
have done another import from the internal tree. You get to find out
which files have changed but not why - for that you would have to
consult the changelogs. 

You will also get messages whenever a new directory is created, so
when we add a new package or set of packages there tend to be quite a
lot of messages instead of just one. I have not looked into CVS to see
whether or not it is possible to improve this.
