I agree. I don't think this list has a problem with too much 
announcement traffic. It isn't
what I'd call a heavy-traffic list in general. Provided the 
announcements stay with stuff
that is useful for the general PyGTK user (i.e. competitors like PyGUI 
should go elsewhere)
I would say it's just fine as it is.

I'd say a much bigger problem is that a large percentage of questions 
here never get answered,
but there are no easy solutions to that of course...
