I'm not sure it's a great idea to post this to our socials. Seems to me
like we'd be opening the list (which is public) to a lot of spam. But maybe
I'm just being too cautious.

Thanks, Tilman for the background! I like the idea of posting about
articles that need attention. Let's do it!
There does seem to be some overlap between this list and the meta wiki,
as Ed noted in the thread Tilman shared:
because few people besides Matthew and myself were checking
their Meta watchlist often enough, this mailing list proved to be a
much more reliable venue for people to post SM ideas for review and
get a timely response.
My take is that people can still use the meta wiki and I'm happy to swing
by it, but we may need to send stuff around this list anyway for a LGTM and
to do a little air-traffic controlling to prevent conflicts and traffic
jams.
Should we tell people on Twitter and Facebook that they can subscribe to
this list? If so, should we say:

Of course we are already asking for (and getting) social content from
the whole movement with this list. See also the list description at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media . That said, some
community members might prefer posting on a wiki.
As a reminder, in August there was already some discussion about
reviving the Meta page (in the same thread); here is my takeaway from that
on why the parallel wiki/mailing list process didn't quite work out back in
2013/14 and what might be required to make it work:
