Hi Miles,

according to https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/, the purpose of
that list is the "Announcements of development issues like policy changes,
important release issues &c."

Its purpose is not to boost visibility of topics, in contrary it is the place
to display only topics that were already the most visible from the start.

I find it quite ironical that, after devastating the signal-noise ratio on
debian-devel and debian-project, some supporters of a init GR regret that they
missed the information, which whas cross-posted on this list.

Cheers,
