I think it would be wise and helpful to announce each new package
added for the first time to GNU ELPA or NonGNU ELPA.  These
hand-written announcements would contain a brief paragraph that
summarizes what the package does.  (This text could be stored in the
repo so people could look at it later.)

The natural place to post these announcements is on info-gnu-emacs.
However, if the rate of new packages in NonGNU ELPA would lead to too
many messages for that list, we could announce the NonGNU ELPA
packages on some other list.

Each package would be announced this way only once.  Each _new
version_ of a package is announced automatically on gnu-emacs-sources;
for new versions, that is enough.  But those automatic announcements
don't say whether the package is new.

What do people think?
