This is an area that we definitely could do more "marketing" in. There's lots of times that "I worked on a cool new feature" (new packages, or updates for existing packages, etc.) would be too small for submitting a Change proposal, and often, these "small" shiny things are also pushed to stable releases. So ... maybe we could have a mailing list for this? Maybe "awesome-announce" or "the-new-shinyness" (I'm kidding! I'm bad with names!) at lists.fedoraproject.org, where all Fedora contributors could post the fancy new thing that they just made? Because we definitely don't have a good place for announcements like that right now (the community blog might be the right place for some of those, but it is a higher barrier to actually write a blog post that gets edited etc. instead of writing an e-mail to a mailing list).
