Agreed.

That message was not posted to the other -announce lists, however.
That's an inconsistency that could be removed for future announcements.

Why would the results of the elections be considered more important
than the actual elections? As to announce the results on multiple
list but not the actual election.

As you could conclude, the mail I referred to was NOT the announcement
of the elections. It's from Nov 7th. The one you refer to is from Dec 3rd!

Make a definition where elections get announced and use the words
"voting" or "election" in the subject line.
Mention it on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections
Be sure to announce an election on devel-announce, too, or which list
was the one for Fedora Contributors that was mandatory to subscribe to?
In either case, agree on where to announce elections.

I'm subscribed to fedora-announce, but with a different account/address, and
I couldn't find the message locally.
