We have an announcements list, but it's for official Django announcements, and we don't want other commercial material on that list because when we post to it, we *need* people to pay attention (for security updates, and so on). As for a 'django community announcements' list: I can see how that might be useful, but I can also see that it introduces a whole bunch of new headaches. We have enough problems getting people to post to the right list when there is only two (django-users and django-dev); adding a third has the potential to just confuse things more...
