Idea is indeed nice, but I have to fully agree with all of what Theirry
says.

I personally don't feel it's about "offload"ing to some hypothetical
person who'll magically understand (_and_ keep up) the detailed
technical context across the projects to produce such a high-quality
developer-oriented newsletter.

Taking the venerable LWN as example, those who write most of the
articles are folks who're technically very involved (not at a hand-wavy
level, giving some directions) in Kernel and related projects. The
thorough research completely shines through. It's more than a full-time
job given the number of OpenStack projects, and assuming the the cadence
of such a newsletter is once a month.
