Wrong. While in /theory/ it might be for developers, in /practise/, d-d-a is consumed by the public as a prime source of important information regarding Debian besides debian-announce and debian-news. The fact that Debian Developers are supposed ot read it does not mean others do not, and there is not much we can do about this at this point.
