So that anyone can edit it, of course.

It is a really nice service. But I'm puzzled why you'd want it on the
wiki? I can't think of an advantage, so there must be something I've
missed. The weekly already provides RSS feeds in multiple languages
(wow, great!) as well as email subscription, so it's easy for
interested people to keep track of it. Plus the weekly website has a
nice web design to suit its purpose.

Usually, it's for the author of the script to decide if the script is
open source.

This is an excellent serve, thank you.

Might I suggest compiling and archiving, it on the OSM Wiki? We could
then use a script to distribute it to the talk pages of interested
mappers.

Wikipedia and Wikidata do this; for example:

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Next

and of course the scripts used should be open source.
