Yes, and I thought this rule starts as soon as emacs-25 branch was
cut.

Not a list, a keyword:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-10/msg00062.html

AFAIU, this means the message should have a "Keywords: emacs-announce"
header, or have a "Keywords: emacs-announce" line in the first 5 lines
of its body.  Then list subscribers who specified they only want to
get messages for that topic will receive such a message.
