We have the same problem with people posting to pgsql-jobs where they don't mention the location of the job. I usually email the people privately about this.
Used to have. pgsql-jobs is now moderated because the junk posts were starting to outnumber the real ones. I just ejected an off-topic J2EE job posting earlier today that would have made it through until this recent change. Jobs that are too vague on details to be useful should get similarly bounced back to the poster, to be reworked before they'll be accepted.
It's impractical to do the same thing for something as complicated as platform support, at least using negative reinforcement, on the more controversial and popular announce list. The list of rules at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/NewsEventsApproval is already too big for moderators to be expected to enforce them all correctly in every case; adding more isn't likely to do anything useful. The best I think we could do here is update that page to encourage people to list this information for their own benefit, and then have some regular announcers lead by example, by including the sort of info Scott is asking for into their messages.
