I propose there are only two mailing lists: the general discussion one and the announcements, which is only AL => subscribers. This one could even be an internal one, like a list of addresses, and not a real mailing list. This means it's mandatory. It should include all mirror admins, whose address

Hi Florian, thank you for working on this issue. I like your proposal of splitting up the list. Having one list - no matter the name - where only AL admins post seems to be a good idea for certain announcements. Most projects have this, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Having another list for m
