Seems to me that new dev announcements should be on [perhaps the
announcement variant] of -dev, since they are related to the development
team. It'd be nice to hear those announcements on the list devs are
required to subscribe to, so all devs hear about new arrivals. As an
IMHO, -dev (or variants) should be for topics of importance to
*developers & development* (but not attacks/flame wars, politics, etc.,
obviously), and not strictly limited to *technical/coding* issues, which
seems a bit narrow.
