Since it is quite some effort to produce one, it might be a good idea to also get some idea about how well it reaches people. Did you consider (how) to measure the impact of such a newsletter? In an email-based newsletter, you could include a web-bug. Not sure if such a web-bug would be preserved when the mail is archived though. An alternative could be a blog-based newsletter with proper analytics. It would be possible to refer to it easily from Twitter and other channels. One of these channels could also be comitters@a.o. You could probably even include some kind of channel-specific campaign ID to figure out if committes@a.o. is a good channel. Btw. apparently comitters@a.o is not an archived mailing list but an alias [1]. Unless you want the newsletter to be a private thing going only to committers, having a public (blog) spot and pointing people to that might be preferable anyway. As you'll see in the draft, the very first parapraph points to community.apache.org/newsletter where the archive will live.
