If we make the debian-policy-annouce list the maintainer for
debian-policy, then all new bug reports and amendments will go there, as
will the evnetual close message.
We can then make sure that these are gatewayed to debian-policy itself by
subscribing debian-policy to debian-policy-announce as if it was a reader
of that list.
How does that sound?
