I suggest that all posts to haskell-announce are copied to haskell. 
Perhaps even the haskell list should itself be subscribed to 
haskell-announce. And of course then initially no-one should be 
subscribed to haskell-announce. Furthermore haskell-announce should be 
moderated, so all posts to it are screened before distribution.

This seems to be the standard way of doing things for announce/discussion 
list pairs. This way people only need to be subscribed to one of them, 
and there's no chance of missing announcements just because you're only 
subscribed to one list.
