I imagine an announcement as being a summary of important post/thread on
the normal list. But off course this won't stop Knut from cross-posting
same content to all lists :-P

Auto-subscribing sounds not nice to me. Subscription should be an
opt-in, not an opt-out.
Limiting access to post to the list sounds not nice to me. We as a
community should be given the responsibility to judge for ourselves what
is "announcements" and what is not.
