First of all, yes, this is a great idea. I've walked quietly with the release because I wanted to make sure at least a few people were able to download and install it before being willing to believe we were finally at the "this will do for now" state.
If you and/or others in the community want to organize yourself to generate PRs and the like for not only this release but other significant events feel free to do so.
We move so slowly here that the workload wouldn't be overwhelming :) But it would be nice to have a cadre of people who are willing to routinely publish announcements to "all the right places" just as we have a cadre of folks involved with testing, documentation, and implementation.
For those worried that this reeks of the M(arketing) word, damned right, it does :) My advice - be happy, don't worry! The more people who know about us the more who are likely to join in, help out, and make all our lives easier.
