I do like the idea of separating the RPM announcements from more general 
fedora announcements, like stuff that the board wants to make public. 
Some sort of global announce list that people are on because they see the 
high signal/low noise value of it is very useful.  Stops us from having to 
cross-post stuff to multiple lists if we want it to be seen.
