The Linux-Audio-Announce mailing list is a moderated mailing list and has been for quite a few years (10+ IIRC). It had been several years since the original non-* projects had a release announcement there and within those years the standard format of release postings had shifted from a more casual "tell us about your software" tone into "just provide changelogs and links to resources" type emails. The change over the years had not been documented in written list policies, so the initial LAA email was rejected. To the best of my knowledge no LAA ban was implemented, just a rejection of the initial submission after it entered the moderation queue.

A ban did occur on the LAD mailing list, but to the best of my knowledge the ban occurred due to some off list emails with one of the list moderators.
