sorry, i'm horribly behind LA mail :(
the original rationale of the cross-posting policy was as follows:
* linux-audio-announce should have no discussions at all to keep the
volume down (so that nobody would be discouraged from subscribing).
* announcements tend to spawn interesting discussions
* these discussions should be in some way related to the announcements,
for example by being in the same mail thread.
that's why announcers are encouraged to cc: lad and lau, so that
discussions can follow.
since some people choose not to do that, folks interested in seeing all
the announcements should probably subscribe to linux-audio-announce as
well.

when linux-audio-announce was created, it was
agreed that
announcements should be crossposted to all three lists. The
reasoning was that this way people wouldn't have to subcsribe to
LAA if they were already on LAD+LAU.
Now when you look at LAA archives, some people post only to LAA,
some (like me) to all three lists, and some to either LAA+LAD or
LAA+LAU.
I didn't even knew that LAA existed. :-/
Perhaps Mailman should be configured so that it adds a footer to each
message, containing basic stuff such as where to go to
subscribe/unsubscribe, and where are the other related lists.
Anyway, i think your proposal makes sense. Crosspostings are bad. Ok,
now let me subscribe real quick now to LAA...
