My understanding is that one is meant for internal, vs. external developers, focusing specifically on WMF projects. The description states: "Coordination of technology deployments across languages/projects" and looking at the archives it is mostly about localisation issues. My impression was someone like a student or corporate wiki administrator would have little interest in it - at least based on the description.
However, if I am wrong, perhaps we can merge the two? Ambassadors seems like a strange name to use if it really is meant for announcements about Wikimedia/MediaWiki development. At the very least the description would need an overhaul since several people did not see that list as being an overlap.

How does the new wikitech-announce compare with the existing wikitech-ambassadors? They both seem to have a similar scope/contents.
