The attached patch adds more flexibility. The patch is on top of the "Use correct wording if only one package is announced" patch.

Slightly changed patch attached. Also adjusted to new version of "Use correct wording if only one package is announced" patch.

Thanks for this.

Possible (better?) alternative names for the new settings:
ANNOUNCEMENT_EDITOR
ANNOUNCEMENT_MAILER

Hmmm... I think "ANNOUNCE_EDITOR" and "ANNOUNCE_MAILER" would be
the best for clarity and conciseness.

New patch attached. Is still on top of "Use correct wording ..." patch.

I also added HOMEPAGE to the propagated variables as this should be included in an announcement.

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't notice this before, and I am terrible at writing shell, but perhaps you could share the reasoning behind writing this as above, and not as, e.g.

(cd ${top} && env BLAH ${cmd})

avoiding all the verbiage in the description of ANNOUNCE_EDITOR about it being fed into 'bash -c' (and hence getting evaluated twice??) rather than just run?
