That is far more difficult.

#1 Those are different servers. www.gnome.org is in the UK. news.gnome.org
is somewhere in the US.
#2 I can setup a redirect, but nothing more special than that due to
lack of wordpress knowledge. There is some limitation that we can do
'www.gnome.org/news', but not another vhost. I don't know the specifics.

So for something like that you'll have to file a bug for another
sysadmin to handle. It doesn't seem feasible to me (might require
replicating the planet-web config on a non-Puppet server, that is pretty
invasive)...
