An announce list is standard fare, not like we are talking about something that would be terrible to maintain here.
Create a list that does not allow posts, send it a message when a new package is available. Boom, 0 administration, almost 0 storage, very little resources.
It is good practice and you will get a lot of subscribers that don't want to see the day to day traffic or visit the site constantly.

That make sense. But wouldn't it be enough to have a special quote at the beginning of the subject like [Centos] [ANNOUNCE] [Centos] [SECURITY] so that filtering could satisfy anyone.
That would work, I could filter based on it.
I am not sure that more mailing lists will help to be a community.
IMHO.
Different people have different needs and interests. I'm already part of other communities like my local LUG. So I'm mostly interested in Announces from Centos, not really in "how do I burn CDs?" and the like.
