Cheers,Ahhh... this is like RFPs and legal announcements - as long as you post it somewhere, you're covered. As opposed to requiring posting in a highly visible place.
No, that's entirely appropriate language for the constitution, which is *very* difficult and time-consuming to change. It's up to the Leader's Delegate to have a policy about how and where GRs are announced, and that policy is very clearly stated at https://www.debian.org/vote/howto_proposal.
(Even if the constitution were easy and quick to change, that wouldn't mean it should be done trivially or lightly, of course.)
