IMO django-announce and django-updates serve a very different purpose and I 
would be against moving them if it were suggested.

I am incredibly strongly in favour of moving django-developers and django-users 
to the forums. IMO being able to more easily trap people misusing this list as 
a tech support channel is itself reason enough to move. Beyond that, I’d argue 
that the plentiful UX issues with Google Groups, and mailing lists in general, 
certainly don’t do the community any favours in terms of getting more people on 
board.
