This is a very good question! Since I haven't talked to Brian on this yet,
I can only speak for my part:
Brian's job is to decide which "features" will be included in the
releases. Therefore, he maintains a list of "release goals", the `Upcoming
Debian Releses' postings.
My job is to assemble and coordinate all policy changes. To implement the
goals it's sometimes necessary to introduce policy changes, which will be
presented in my "Policy Weekly" postings.
Thus, the two postings serve different functions.
Thanks,
Chris
