In some instances, the creation of a new mailing list (like a
bugs-dist list) would be noise.
I'd be in favour of the requestor(s) announcing the new list though -
so they could explain what the list would be used for.

If sysadmin ends up doing it we'll likely be unable to provide as
decent an explanation (as we're simply not as involved).
