Sure.

I was not looking for issues, specifically. I was interested in what the
changes are, not if there are any mistakes. Reading it because of
interest in it will be my primary concern.
I don't know if I would be good at finding mistakes, but the more people
try the better.
Sending a draft to tor-talk would certainly work for me. I'd prefer if
it is obvious that it is a draft. Before you resurrected tor-announce I
saw a change-log on tor-talk and went to the Tor website to download the
latest binary. So saying it's a draft in the subject helps to avoid
confusion.
Sending to tor-talk would also work, because there are lots of people on it.
How about another list like tor-feedback for general things to review
(e.g no patches, no code, no proposals)? Interested people could
subscribe (I would) and get drafts of the change-log to review for
errors. This could include things like blog entries that have to be
reviewed or the Tor Newsletter in its RC state.
I'm open to other suggestions.
Best Regards,
Sebastian
