And so it should be. In the default NM conversations[1] we have this: debian-announce: Major public announcements debian-devel-announce: Major announcements to the developer community These two lists are must-subscribes. Everything else is optional. So if one hasn't already subscribed before then, there's another chance to do it. If anyone knows of people being DM or DD who have't heard of those two announce lists, or aren't subscribed to them, I'd like to figure out why, just in case we need to improve our templates. In my experience, ignorance tends not to be considered an excuse for something that was posted to debian-devel-announce, so I consider it something to care about. My current understanding, though, at least looking at the people I know, is that contributors tend to be already subscribed without needing to be explicitly told.
