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. -Peff [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.
