based on what you said above, I would actually shut the list down completely. We can use release-team (there is too much duplication anyway), the security list you mentioned, and kde-announce-apps for release announcements.
The problem is that users and packagers are different audiences that care about different things when it comes to release announcements. For example, when I make a release I make a point of mentioning packaging-related changes like new or changed dependencies in the release changelog, but few if any distro packagers ever read them, so I end up having to poke people manually. OTOH, for a user- targeted announcement, the changelog is the most important part. A list where announcements can be posted that *focus* on the packa- ging bits so packagers can't as easily overlook them seems useful.
