Why not simply mail f-d-l as well as all the maintainers of packages
that are affected (and not fedora-devel-announce!)? A simple command
line script is able to do that in case MTA's like sendmail or postfix
are properly configured. That script likely could write a comma
separated list that people can cut-n-paste to Thunderbird, Kmail and
other MUA's if needed.
Reason: I for one slowly start to get annoyed by the slowly increasing
traffic on fedora-devel-announce that clutters my inbox. Thus I started
to consider to move mails from that list into some IMAP folder
automatically, and that is exactly what we didn't want people to do when
fedora-devel-announce was created. I think we said something like "less
then 10 mails a month" back when we created it, but I could not find
that on a quick google search :-/

P.S.: I on purpose comment here on the list and not in the ticket where
this comment would be hidden by most of those that will be are affected
by the change.
