When an update for timezone database is present, will it be intimated in this mailing list?

Yes.  Typically, there will be some discussion of events that will require a change.   When those are known in enough detail, then a proposed set of changes will be circulated for review and approval.  Sometimes, there are amendments.  Then, in due course (typically about a week after the proposed changes are circulated), an announcement is made that a new revision of the database has been posted.
