I see a lot of these types of announcements. May I suggest that people
add a short description of what that package is. From the name, I can't
tell is this is about process status, or PostScript, or what.

In this case, after clicking on the link, I see that "psutil is [...]
for retrieving information on all running processes and system
utilization". Putting that one-liner up front in the announcement makes
it easier for people to know if it's worth exploring further.

And while we're at it, there's also a dedicated mailing list for Python
related announcements, which people commonly use for announcing important
releases of software packages:

(And no, it's not that the unimportant ones should go here...)
