That's a bug - it is intended that they be able to request them themselves.

Indeed - We can change the code so that the announcements for teams like 
this don't go to ietf-announce. We could even talk about requirements 
about when they show on the upcoming page, and whether coordinates 
appear there (but keep Michael's point about conflicts in mind), but it 
would be _very_ useful for these teams to be able to use the materials 
management capabilities that they asked for.
