Hi,

To keep new or less active maintainers (such as myself) from accidentally
embarrassing themselves with post-upload announcement email subject
lines containing "[ANNOUNCEMENT][ANNOUNCEMENT]", is there any interest
in making this edit, or a variation of it, to setup.html?:

old:
----
  Once sent, your message will be reviewed by one of the cygwin-announce
  moderators and, once approved, will be automatically forwarded to the
  cygwin mailing list with an [ANNOUNCEMENT] prepended to the subject.

new:
----
  Once sent, your message will be reviewed by one of the cygwin-announce
  moderators and, once approved, will be automatically forwarded to the
  cygwin mailing list. Unlike other announcement subject lines that may
  start with "[RFU], [ITP]", etc. do not prepend this announcement with
  "[ANNOUNCEMENT]".


Bob
