That's fair. And on further consideration I'll withdraw the "to the list" part.

I can't speak for Jakob, of course. I was surprised to learn of the blog posts, because I hadn't been following the blog; if I knew it existed at some point, I'd forgotten. But I'm following it now.

It probably wouldn't hurt to post something to the lists when there's a blog post with news like this  - items that subscribers would likely feel is important. Blog posts like the recent "OpenSSL in China" series probably don't need to be mentioned on the lists. But it's subjective, and I wouldn't want to create more work for anyone.
