Well, I wouldn't call it embarassing. It's not a public matter, after all,
except when people like me raise the issue on public lists like -www.
It's more of a moderation annoyance (see below).

I agree that announce does that not get much spam. I don't know the reason
for this, but it gets < 1% of what the other lists get. I certainly
see more spam in the moderation queue than on my public emails, but the
latter are heavily filtered, so I don't know if that is relevant. The
danger is that us moderators are more likely to miss a legitimate message
if it's buried in 200 other spam emails (which is roughly the current
ratio for lists like -general).
