Excellent adivce - and many of the announcements on the separate
python-announce list do actually follow this model (and this is probably
actually the right place to send announcements).
I'd even extend the suggestion further - it's surprising how many
newcomers ask questions about a particular package that many people have
not heard of - it all seems so obvious when you have an assignment, but
when there are over 400,000 packages on PyPI it should actually not be
surprising that a few of us have not actually heard of all of them :-)
Maybe give a bit more context...
