Your comment was about the quality of the announcements degrading since
the applist started sending emails. The applist encourages all
developers, whether new or experienced, to post their announcements to
the list. Knowing that the quality of the core GNOME components
announcements hasn't degraded, it was my guess that you must be
referring to all the new non-core application announcements, which has
dramatically increased since the applist started sending mails.

If I have reached in invalid conclusion, please disregard my comments.

I just don't see how we can improve the quality of non-core application
announcements without becoming editors. If someone's up for the job,
that's great though.
