Thanks for posting, this happened to me as well.

I am watching the release-notes tag (not just the first post) for quite some time. And the 2.8.5 Security Release was the first and only one I got notified about.

It does not seem like an email issue to me, because my notifications here on the site also only show the 2.8.5 release post.
