Process for informing FECFile team of updated eFiling specifications

[exalate-issue-sync]

Task: We need to develop a reliable process for ensuring that the FECFile development team is informed of any updates to the eFiling format specifications in a timely manner, including expectations of when the changes need to be in place.

Notes:

1. There should be an email list to vendors that informs of spec updates. We need to determine who on the FECFile team should be on that email list.
2. This is timely as 8.5 specifications are currently in the works. We have tickets to accommodate in the backlog (see linked tickets) but need to know timeline of implementation.
3. Per https://fecgov.atlassian.net/browse/FECFILE-1652 , note that once new specs go live, files on the previous specifications will not be accepted by EFO.
