I think this is not good - every contributor should be subscribed to
announce list (with cla_done).

I agree. Looking on Robyn's statistics, seems it wasn't affected 
compared to F18 elections but definitely - more votes, better. Still
I'd like to say thanks to Ankur as it was probably worst possible time
to begin as Election Wrangler - from scheduling side etc.
