From Ziko's note about this: There will be a special list 'WCA-announcements". If you want to be informed about Bulletins and discussions, join the list and you will get links to Meta Wiki. It's a one-way-list, because the discussions are supposed to be on Meta Wiki. This is a WCA service for Council Members and non Council Members alike. In this way, nobody is obliged to be on a heavy traffic list such as Wikimedia-l.
That's not the way that wikimedia-announce is currently set up (it actually refers all replies to wikimedia-l). So if this is really the setup that's desired, that requires a new (and differently configured) list.

yeah, I was going to suggest the same thing, why make a different list with different membership?

Thanks Ziko, I'm happy to create this list for you on the Foundation servers, please follow the instructions at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists#Create_a_new_list to
file a
bug. I'd suggest "WCA-Announce" to match our similar announcement lists
for
MediaWiki, WLM, Toolserver etc and to keep it relatively short.
Is there a reason why wikimediaannounce-l can't be used here?
Thanks, Mike (Personal viewpoint)
