I think the audience may be a bit different for Rev News versus a blog.
I'd expect the blog to be written for people who use Git, and want to
learn how to use new features, or maybe broaden their understanding of
it. Rev News seems a lot more technical to me, and mostly of interest to
people who are part of the development community.

Which isn't to say those two things can't co-exist on a site[1] or a
blog. But I think there needs to be some way for people to subscribe to
one but not the other. Because I suspect that too many posts about the
development process would drive away users who would be interested in
the less-technical posts.

[1] By the way, Rev News lives over at git.github.io, but there's no
    reason it couldn't be integrated (from the user's perspective) with
    the git-scm.org site.

    I wouldn't want it in the same repo for technical reasons, but it
    could be revnews.git-scm.com or similar (and possibly styled in a
    similar way).

    If you're happy with it separate, I have no objections. I just
    wanted to make it clear it's an option.
