No.  announce@apache.org is for everyone (announce@httpd.apache.org is for
httpd).  It just so happens that nobody ever sends anything to
announce@apache.org other than the HTTP project.  Why?  Who knows.

Personally, I think the announce@apache.org list is the perfect place for
the newsletter.  People subscribe there because they want news about
events in the foundation and its projects.  This is what the newsletter
provides.

Overall, I liked the newsletter.  Sure, there are lots of things that
could be improved, but in Apache-land, the people who do the work get to
make most of the decisions.

A couple suggestions:

- Perhaps a monthly newsletter is asking a little too much.  Many projects
don't have much going on in a month.  Quarterly might get more results.

- I'd tone down the nagging of projects that don't contribute.  Just point
at their website and let it be.
