Mailing list are archived, and there is a link from the web site. If
someone goes to the debian-news archive, I'll see if a link can be made
to an html version where the links are made into hotlinks.

I thought it was going the other way around. I can see the logic, but it
seems that debian-news and debain-announce would merge and be two
duplicates, with double the work.

That is the hope. However, as one user pointed out, I'm not the best at
sorting through the chatter myself. (My upgrade to unstable message was
flawed, mainly because I've yet to do it.)
