Currently http://news.gnome.org/ syndicates devel-announce-list and so
on. So people interested in GNOME development can just follow the
website and don't have to subscribe to a mailing list (high barrier).

"GNOME News" will replace the URL, so then our GNOME development news
needs a place somewhere.

But that you only get people to know about development who take effort
to figure out that something like devel-announce-list exists.
