PETSc announce has more people than petsc-users but it is not clear that
everyone on petsc-users is on petsc-announce. Everyone should join
petsc-announce but they may not.
We could send them to both with the same label but then many people will get
two emails which is annoying.
Maybe use the labels [PETSc Job opening] and [PETSc Release] to give people
an easier filter.
An approach which is probably not simple is that anything sent to
petsc-announce is also sent to everyone on petsc-users who IS NOT on
petsc-announce so everyone gets only exactly one copy regardless of whether
they are on both or either.
1) Maybe we could just manually remove everyone from announce who is in
users and make sure that anything sent to announce also gets sent to users.
2) Or whenever anyone joins users we sign them up for announce
automatically and then only send such message to announce (the webpage could
indicate you will
automatically also be added to announce. This seems the least
painful, but then someone now needs to add to announce everyone who is on users
but not
on announce.
People could get fancy with filters to get only one copy but that is
obnoxious to expect them to do that.
