The context here is whether announcements from such groups
are on topic on d-d-a. I have a local LUG where lots of people use
Debian -- and there are debian based install fests and so on (and
talks, and BOF meetings over beer and pizza). I am not sure I think
gating the announcements from my LUG to the d-d-a list is
appropriate.
In this context, we have a low volume lists that all
developers are supposed to subscribe to, and keeping the noise in the
mailing list down is probably best.
