The thing is "signal" is at least a two place verb-- it probably needs more places because there are a large number of people involved.
I may have just acquired signal as a word to be sensitive to-- signals have to be interpreted, so just saying something is being signaled leaves out altogether too much variation in many cases.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
