Actually, I would vote for a periodic announcement. I think people come 
and go from mailing lists like this one (I know I do, I am interested in 
a port of lynx to a particular OS and have joined and cancelled and 
rejoined when I have been working on the project). Also I see a lot of 
posts from newbies, who ask questions that are more about lynx-use 
than lynx-dev, but there is only the one list.

In fact, if there is one complaint I have about the lynx-dev list, it is
that there is too much detail and too little summary. I think a list with a
volume like this one ought to have periodic posts of background info and
announcements like yours, or at least a periodic post of a FAQ or a
pointer to a FAQ.
