I appreciate the concern Kanstantsin! We do have a news@ mailing list, but it has been under-utilized so far. Perhaps revamping that one would do it?
My only concern is that subscribing to a new mailing list is an overhead. As a temp solution, we could cc the dev and user list in the first few (say, 3) threads and encourage folks in these threads to sign up for the news@ list.
