Yes, they will.
Traffic is already high enough on d-devel that anything automated
like that would cause me to unsubscribe (yet again). As it is d-devel
is hardly readable. Postings like that don't belong on this list. IMO
subscribing to debian-wnpp and filtering is a solution for interested
people, whereas dumping automated mails to a crowded list (aka spamming
:) is not an option.
If there are weekly mails or something along those lines (with a
summary of ITPs maybe), those could go to d-devel-announce.
