That's exactly what I do too. The most time my IRC client shows activity
in #ubuntu-bugs it's ubotu announcing new bugs. Therefore the most time
I ignore the channel and miss discussions or questions.
I probably wouldn't join #u-b-announce. When I have time to work on bugs
I open the bug list sorted by "Newest first" in my browser and check on
which bugs I can help.

Surely, moving the announcements into an other channel doesn't fix the
bugs but ignoring the channel doesn't fix them either. And people trying
to use #ubuntu-bugs for help on fixing/triaging a bug get missed too
easily.
