Actually it is not true that "anyone can sign up" for the initiatives group.
It expressly says:
"This is an invite only group. The group administrators add/remove members as needed."

Yeah. There's unfortunately no way to limit create an "announce only" list on g.d.o any other way (if you could limit "Create $foo" permissions on g.d.o to just managers instead of all group members, this would work, but you can't :\). It's important the content here stay curated so that people actually follow it. The downside is that RSS is the only option for subscribing, unfortunately. However, anyone can comment on posts there and participate on discussions, which is certainly the intent.

As of this morning, I'm also piping the RSS feed from this group into Drupal Planet, so that'll hopefully also help distribute viability of these discussions to a wider audience going forward.
