Hi Bogdan,

i think there exists some kind of standard for such a list that is expected 
from users and followed from many other projects:

- list name "announce"
- low volume, a few posts a month, only really important content
- must be moderated to prevent spam and abuse

So, going into more detail, i suggest that we use this list to:

- announce minor releases
- announce critical fixes for branches (e.g. crashes for important modules)
- announce important other events (e.g. a major change in project focus, 
  fundrasing efforts)
- the post will be written from the person who has done the fix
- the author can post the message first to the devel list, if he wants review 
  or another opinions
- if some (non author) developer think that a certain thing should be 
  announced, he needs to start a discussion about this on the devel list

Cheers,

Henning
