Wouldn't it be better to relate news to closed/merged trac tickets?
This might need an extra trac feature allowing for tagging tickets for 
priority in the sense
of how much value a ticket adds.
(critical/blocker/major hierarchy is something different)

Then NEWS would come from harvesting ticket's summaries and arranging them 
w.r.t.  the value-adding priority.
This would be indeed almost painless, as opposed to extra files somewhere 
etc etc.
(This might even fit within some of ODK deliverables :-))
