I think there are three places today this type of information can live
within Apache:

- the component website (which we can publish whenever we want)
- the project wiki (which automatically is live)
- https://news.apache.org/ (not sure how one posts there)

A new blog (whatever that means using whatever stack) would likely require
involvement from infra which is already overwhelmed. Is there another
Apache project that has its own blog but does not fit in the list above?
