something-announce generally means a low-volume (usually moderated) list, 
eg, in this case for announcements of new freeciv releases or similar
(eg, new mailing lists :-)
I could envisage that being useful for some people who want to know about 
new releases etc but who don't want to get other discussion.  But since the 
freeciv list is mostly low volume that may not really be necessary.

A cvs-checkins list could be useful if it could be automated, but I don't
see any real benefit to splitting freeciv-patch off from freeciv-dev.
