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.

to match our similar announcement lists

MediaWiki, WLM, Toolserver etc and to keep it relatively short.
Is there a reason why wikimediaannounce-l can't be used here?
Thanks,
