Why would you want to subscribe to the announce list of every new incubator project? If you wanted to do that, you'd just subscribe to general@incubator.apache.org, or even annou...@apache.org.
Please note, I am not suggesting we disband annou...@apache.org. We already have plenty of TLPs using annou...@tlp.apache.org lists, and they post to that as well as annou...@apache.org. All I am suggesting is that we suggest to incubating projects that they create an project specific announce@ list, so as to create a low-volume, high-signal news channel. It is my experience that such things are useful.
