Hmm.  The advantage of Simon's proposal is that anyone can post an
announcement to the list (ignoring the moderation issue for a moment),
whereas with my proposal I think you have to be a site administrator to
post an announcement.  

The disadvantage of Simon's proposal is finding moderators and ensuring
that postings don't get stuck.

On the whole, I think Simon's approach would work better.
