Why not simply mail f-d-l as well as all the maintainers of packages that are affected (and not fedora-devel-announce!)? A simple command line script is able to do that in case MTA's like sendmail or postfix are properly configured. That script likely could write a comma separated list that people can cut-n-paste to Thunderbird, Kmail and other MUA's if needed.
Fedora-devel-list is subscribed to fedora-devel-announce, so anything sent to f-d-a will also show up on f-d-l.
Reason: I for one slowly start to get annoyed by the slowly increasing traffic on fedora-devel-announce that clutters my inbox. Thus I started to consider to move mails from that list into some IMAP folder automatically, and that is exactly what we didn't want people to do when fedora-devel-announce was created. I think we said something like "less then 10 mails a month" back when we created it, but I could not find that on a quick google search :-/
Are you finding what is sent there to not be relevant or important to you as a packager? I'm the moderator of that list and I don't think I've sent or let anything through that wasn't useful.
