Last time we did that, I got so pissed off that I unsubscribed from announce entirely. I *strongly* recommend against such an approach.

Besides, auto-subscribing like that puts us firmly on the side of the spammers. The only right way to put someone on a mailing list is the double-opt-in. Opt-out lists are fundamentally wrong.
I disagree. Just because they get mail from two different from lists doesn't mean we are spamming them. It's all from the same organization.
If people want to subscribe to an announce list, let 'em subscribe to an announce list. If not enough people subscribe to it, well, then there obviously isn't enough interest to make it worthwhile, and the idea should be dropped, no matter how appealing it may be to a few.
But they won't subscribe to the announce list which makes it pointless. Either we subscribe everyone to it or we just forget about it. I'm fine with either one.
