It ought to be relatively easy to sync the list of emails for fedora
account holders with those allowed to post to the announce list
without being a member of that list.  

With a little chunk of python this could be rolled into a withlist
script (withlist is part of mailman).  The emails from the accounts
system would need to be synced/added to the accept_these_nonmembers
property for the announce list.

Of course, on the list of things to do, I doubt this is near the top
for the infrastructure folks (who must all be damn good jugglers. :)
