Agree [and it might even be useful if the `right` people subscribe ;-)].

In case you did not know, the [chairs] list is already used to: 1) make 
FPWD transition requests [rarely do these fail]; 2) announce LC 
publications + explicit  RfC from specific group(s); 3) make CR 
transition requests. It would be helpful (vis-à-vis toward getting early 
and wide review) if all three of these (plus ProcDoc-2014 now 
effectively mandates a "RfC for pre-CRs") were announced on a Public list.

Unfortunately, the chairs list is Member-confidential and I suspect 
subscriber membership is controlled by consortium staff (i.e. I don't 
think it is an  auto-subscribe-able list by Joe Public). I would be 
delighted if everything on that list was automagically forwarded to a 
Public list. However, I suspect typical Public vs. Member 
confidentiality stop energy would prevent that :-(.

(WRT `the tools will save us`, if WG charter deliverables included some 
type of "interestedGroup" property, then it seems like at least some 
notifications could be automated.)
