[tz] tz-announce list is incorrectly configured

Once again, a message has appeared on the tz-announce list
without also appearing on the tz list. In this case, it was an
announcement that the 2013d releases of txcode and tzdata are
available.
Please could the tz-announce list be configured such that it is
impossible for a message to go to tz-announce at iana.org without
also going to tz at iana.org. tz-announce was always intended to
carry a subset of the messages sent to the tz list, not to carry
some disjoint or partially-overlapping set of messages.
It's unreasonable to expect readers to subscribe to both lists in
order to see all messages, and it's also unreasonable to expect
people who send announcements to CC both lists to ensure that the
tz list receives all messages. This really should be fixed at the
mailing list server side.
