I agree that such lists are useful.  I like to subscribe to individual
announce lists for security purposes because aggregate lists like
debian-security-announce generally lag behind upstream.  Individual dev lists
and [email protected] are too high traffic and programming text-based filters is
tricky because conventions like "ANNOUNCE" are not adhered to 100% of the
time.

As to whether such lists should be encouraged for new podlings (probably by
putting a stub in the proposal template alongside the other lists), I can't
say that I have a strong opinion.
