SU uses it for doing announcements about the wiki and etc (kinda like the technical update threads here on CC) That's an important use case, but it does it need its own category? You could have a general "wiki business" category where anyone can post, but only admin announcements get an actual notification sent out. I would like to echo this request. My wiki has an "Announcements" post category in the Community Feed to mimic one of the Special:Forum boards where we would post announcements and allow users to scroll back through the official announcements. As it is right now, any user can post in the Announcements category; one user recently posted "it's my birthday" in there. We would like to be able to restrict at least one category to only admins and mods being able to create topics (not replies; all users should be able to reply as normal). So yes, this would be a helpful feature to have.

I should make mention of the fact that the actual Announcements feature itself has no such log for users to go back through a wiki's previous announcements, especially those that occurred before the user joined, in case they wanted to see previous important discussions.
