Call it a channel.

I disagree with that, as IRC channel is established to mean what a matrix room is. I suggest "announcement room" instead?

I think the idea of a couple presets like this is good for community admin's UX, in fact I suggested something like it in #20450. Community admins should be regarded end users and thus not have to deal with raw power levels directly if possible.
