The auto-forwarding of announcements from the cygwin-announce mailing

This seems to be hard to make work reliably (sometimes it doubles the
messages, sometimes they don't get forwarded), apparently prevents us
from adding a meaningful standard footer (e.g. with unsubscribe
instructions, so we have to rely on maintainers remembering to add it
manually), and no-one seems to know why we're doing it.
If you want to continue to receive these announcements in the future,
please consider subscribing to the cygwin-announce mailing list (or
reading it via news://news.gmane.io/gmane.os.cygwin.announce, or via the
various protocols that inbox.sourceware.org provides).
Maintainers,
Following this change, I intend to adjust the configuration for the
cygwin-announce list so it automatically appends the footer suggested in
[1] (so you will no longer need to append it manually, if you are
currently in the minority remembering to doing so :) ).
I'll also amend those instructions to remove that suggestion.
