While re-hearing the news because some may have missed it may be a laudable goal, it is a bit amiss here on this mailing list. This list is listed as intended as a help/support list for those running/configuring MediaWiki. It also provides announcements of new versions, bug fixes and security issues.
Hence, your news is beyond the topic scope of this list and far more appropriate for a personal blog and perhaps, other lists devoted to the spreading of news. Now, if you have news that the NSA or GCHQ has exploited a security flaw in MediaWiki, that would most certainly be on topic for this mailing list and would be greatly appreciated.
