It seems that it isn't possible (anymore), see here:

Apparently you can get an RSS feed, but to me that seems to be a "more dying"
technology than email. This doesn't make it very practical to follow the
gretl tag. They probably want you to spend time on their site more often.
BTW, there were a bunch of questions on stats.stackexchange tagged with
"gretl" this year. I wonder why all the stackexchange fanatics here didn't
respond... One thing is clear, any increased visibility of gretl on those
platforms will not happen automagically. It's not a panacea but requires
effort.
If anybody has a hint how to follow the gretl tag there in a practical way,
it will be appreciated.
Thanks for doing the research, Sven. I had just this question in
mind. I'd be happy to follow up on gretl-related stackex* questions
when I have a little time to spare, but I'd have to be alerted to
their existence via email; I'm not about to browse there on the
off-chance -- or not more than maybe once a year!
