There are all kinds of announcements in the Ubuntu community that are not strictly development or release-related which are posted here on the fridge, from the recent revision of the Code of Conduct to upcoming community-wide events.
At the Ubuntu Developer Summit in October the Community Council spoke with other members of the community and decided to launch a new community announcement mailing list.
The list is now live! Sign up here:

Another good reason the keep the UWN announces off the LoCo-contacts list.
First, to clarify, we won’t be posting UWN announcements on the community list.
Every time this topic comes up on the loco-council list a majority of respondents ask for it to continue. We would stop if this wasn’t the case
