Once the lists and mandatory subscriptions exist -- and provided that
the contributors cannot unsubscribe -- what is left is to make the
subscribers aware of the lists, so they can set up their mail filters
appropriately. Memos, which end up in a folder filled with the traffic
of other fedora lists, would be less helpful.

What about a news feed for such memos?
