Tom,

> -announce is the one list that really NEEDS to have a human gatekeeper.

By "automate" I meant "like the News on the front page", with a web interface 
and a collective team (slaves-to-the-www) to moderate it.  There would have 
to be humans involved.

Alternately,  can Marc *please* designate an alternate moderator?  I know that 
majordomo supports this.  Someone like Dave, Magnus and/or Robert?

Timing wasn't critical this morning (Newsforge checked with me before posting 
a story) but for other stuff it may be.   And more than once a vendor or 
outside OSS project has waited for a week to get their stuff on -announce 
because they didn't know they needed to send a private e-mail to Marc so he 
would check the moderation list.

Also, it would be nice to have a several people with more time (collectively) 
to weed out bad addresses.  Right now, anyone who posts to announce gets an 
average of 25-40 bounces, which is rather startling for first-time posters.
