As others have mentioned Apache committers can submit their feed for
the Apache-wide planet.

Running your own planet is not that hard either.  I did one for a
number of years for ODF-related blogs, before transferring it (and the
domain name) to the OpenDoc Society:

http://planet.opendocumentformat.org/

That ran on the "Planet Venus" software that Sam Ruby maintains.  It
is python.  It generates HTML output.  Run it on a cron job every 15
minutes or hour and you are done.  Adding new blogs/feeds requires
updating a configuration file.
