I'd have to vote No!  I think a Ruby Talk list is perfectly the correct 
place (in my mind) to have announcements related to things Ruby 
developers use/ might want.  I have seen numerous threads where people 
have announced a gem only for it to be followed by quick responses on 
problems people are facing, what might be wrong with it, etc.  This 
would become a bit more difficult if the gem were announced only on a 
separate list.

Cheers,
Mohit.
