Well I think there's been a consensus that project is for non-technical
discussion. Usage policy for lists would seem to fall under that.

That sounds like an effective use of dev-announce, although it would make
more sense to keep it as pure announcements, which would mean reply-to
would be dev. Otherwise, it could become the public dev-only mailing list
which was proposed for this list, and there was definitely no consensus
established for that move.
