And, incidentally, is there a way for remote participants to
sign up for one or both meeting-related mailing lists without
registering (or using a "remote participation registration"

I sent the mail to ietf-announce, so I would guess many
non-attendees got it as well.
Yes. I was thinking a bit more generally. For example,
schedule changes during the meeting week, IIR, go to NNall, and
not ietf-announce. As a remote participant, one might prefer
to avoid the usual (and interminable) discussions about coffee
shops, weather, and the diameter of the cookies, but it seems to
me that there is a good deal of material that goes to the two
meeting lists that would be of use. Since I'm on those lists in
spite of being remote (registered and then cancelled), I can try
to keep track of whether anything significant to remote
participants appears on the meeting discuss list this time if it
would help.
One thing that may also benefit both Remote and Meeting participants:
An anchor point to distribute live update about IETF week, e.g.,
schedule change, latest bits-n-bytes info, WG/BoF agenda changes/slides
uploaded(with embedded link), highlight/awards at plenary, emergent
notice for facility issues/weather/traffic/hotel stealing...
Most of those could be found if digging hard enough from hundreds of
mails during IETF week, but a quick link definitely helps.
It can be a "live update" bullet on the front page of IETF meeting
