Which list for community gaming session announcements?

I figured it was time to look at where Community Gmaing Session announcements
so be sent for the near term future.

The first message was sent to the users list (I was worried that too many
people might show up) and the other 3 to the announce list. For the first
and second sessions I also made sure the FWN people knew about them.

Going forward I still want to send out email announcements, but I am not
sure whether they should go to users or announce or perhaps some other list.

The intent (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Gaming) is to use games
as a way for members of the Fedora Community to socialize and hence the
games list (IMO) isn't is too narrow.

I still want to send out announcements as the sessions are not happening
every week. (No one else has volunteered to sponsor a session on their
own and I can't commit to running them myself every week.) Also I have
tried two time slots so far and could potentially try another if there
was a reason to believe it would help attendence.

While announce hits a good chunk of the target audience, considering the
low turn out and the fact that there have been three announcements giving
the web page where future and past sessions are tracked, I am not sure it's
appropriate to continue sending messages there and instead should be sending
them to the user list (and giving the FWN people a heads up so that they
cover it).

Suggestions?
