Hi!
As I'm not sure if you are subscribed to the list please forgive if you
get the mail twice due to Cc.

Claiming that they are never shown there is a pretty tough accusing,
and possibly nothing that anyone will be able to agree with you.

It depends. The current non-reachable server isn't something that
directly affects the end users. Granted, no new packages flow in through
unstable, but appart from that it's nothing that end users are affected
by that - and furthermore, people that use unstable propably should be
subscribed to debian-devel-announce anyway, where it has been posted to.
The list is extremely low flow, so there is no real excuse to not
subscribe to it.
About the compromise of gluck years ago, it was quite well documented
on the very same list, debian-devel-announce. Given that it contains
people.debian.org it might affect some end-users too, and in fact it
*was* on the front page due to a mail to debian-news,
<http://www.debian.org/News/2006/20060713> did run through there.

But they aren't hidden - they are just sent to places where it is
assumed to be appropriate. The debian-devel-announce is far from being
something secret, really.
So long,
