Yeah, I don't personally see much use for package-announce anymore. It
was started back in the day before rss feeds and other tools. 
scm-commits I think is still valuable as it's a record of all commits,
so anyone interested can see and it's distributed so after the commits
there's no way to rewite the emails. :) That said, subscribing to it by
a human isn't too great now... the volume is just too much to even skim. 
Back in the old days I used to read they all the commits (and caught
some fun bugs too), but its just not possible anymore.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
