How about 'announce if you feel like it.' It doesn't hurt and can result in good discussion. We're not large enough to require ITP where the benefit is that you don't have multiple people doing the same work. The upside of an ITP for us is the ensuing discussion (if any). > I also wanted to avoid giving maintainers the impression that from > now on they "have to announce". that might discourage people from > experimenting with a new package, if they aren't initially sure they > want to take it on.
