No strong opinion. Generally, I don't think podlings have much to
announce. A few releases, at most, before they graduate. IMO, just put
those on announce@ and be done with it.

Large communities arriving at the Incubator could certainly do well
with an announce@. But new/small projects? Not so much.

Note: as mentioned else-thread, we strongly discourage a users@
mailing list for podlings. (or more precisely, those building *new*
communities)

Agreed. I took a quick look on mail-archive.a.o, and it appears that
user@ is more popular than users@ (185 vs 76).

(bummer, cuz svn uses users@ ...)
