But we already do that!  For a major release, the Web page includes
its main new features, and the Web page mentions them for a month
since the release.  And the announcement tells how to read the NEWS
file.  What is missing?

More detailed than what?

Here's the list of main new features in Emacs 28.1, copied from
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

  Emacs 28.1
  Released Apr 4, 2022

  Emacs 28.1 has a wide variety of new features, including:

      Native compilation of Lisp files
      Text shaping with HarfBuzz and drawing with Cairo
      Support for loading Secure Computing filters
      Much improved display of Emoji and Emoji sequences
      New system for documenting groups of functions
      A minor mode for context menus
      Mode-specific commands
      Emacs shows matching parentheses by default
      Many improvements and extensions to project.el

There's a link to NEWS for people who want that.

What is the problem for the email announcement to have the same list
of main new features, and refer to NEWS, as we already do, for those
who really want that?
