I am subscribed to both lists with different addresses. But these 
lists are delivered to different mailboxes. I wouldn't object to 
Doug's idea, but herewith offer another one.

These announcements come in threes, usually, one for each active 
branch of the BIND9 codebase. An executive summary of the three, 
perhaps with links to the posts in the bind-announce web archive, 
could be posted to the bind-users discussion list.

The benefit of seeing the announcements on the discussion list is 
that in some cases discussion of the announcement itself might take 
place.
