+1
I can confirm that I never posted pre-release announcements for my app
to release-team because, well,
I'm not part of the "official" release-team and I wasn't sure whether
I was supposed to write there.

If there is consensus to extend this list (or whatever other list) to
the "former extragear" products,
I'm more than happy to start doing this kind of announcements.

release-team seems a better fit for the job, since it's what the
"main" products use for pre-release announcements.
