There is no automatic way to do what you want. However, there are
various ways that I can think of that can accomplish what you want. One
way that came immediately to mind is to have a cron job that dumps the
discussion list membership periodically that is then imported into the
announce list. I doubt there is a requirement that this be done more
frequently than once a day. Rather than have to check what has changed
since the last import to the announce list, I'd remove all the members
of the announce list and then add all the members coming from the
discussion list. I've scripted most of this before so let me know if you
need help.
