I agree.  We don't need to make a habit out of announcements as large as when 
Mono was added.  That was a special circumstance due to the long background.  
Individual common packages do not need such fanfare, and trying to give it to 
them would wear out the value of special announcements.  I generally think 
the best kind of announcement is one made by the maintainer on fedora-list or 
similar public forums.  If the package is of special interest to a Fedora 
project or SIG, then the appropriate lead or committee could see to a larger 
announcement.  I don't think we need to add a regular burden of the sort to 
the Board, though, as it isn't necessary and could detract from other 
important duties.
