Or if there was a simple way to do all of it with a single email alias
or something.

Unfortunately, people like Linux Today and Freshmeat tend to prefer that
you use their online forms for building announcements rather than sending
them an email. This is a pain in the neck. That's the main reason why I
have generally only been contacting LWN -- just too much pissing around to
get others informed. More often than not a concerned user will read LWN
or the announcement on the lists and post an update for us -- but this
isn't co-ordinated and we usually don't get any feedback that they have
done an announcement.
If you can get a group of people together who will volunteer to always
take care of announcements/updates for a particular service each then you
might have a chance.
