Comment (by karsten):

 Yes, this is something we'd like to provide.

 Couple of questions regarding a possible implementation:
  - What formats and versions should we provide? I'm not using RSS/Atom
 feeds myself, so I can't say what's most useful. Nor can I say what
 formats one would provide when starting to provide a feed today. So, would
 we want RSS or Atom or both or something else? And which version or
 versions would we want to provide?
  - Are there specific parts of news that we should include, and are there
 ways to provide data in ways that are easier (or unnecessarily harder) to
 process for feed clients?
  - Are there (implicit) conventions regarding feed URLs? For example,
 should we provide the RSS feed for
 `https://metrics.torproject.org/news.html` under something like
 `https://metrics.torproject.org/news.rss`, or are there no such
 conventions?
  - What do people usually use as library for creating feeds in Java? A
 quick search reveals [https://rometools.github.io/rome/ ROME] as possible
 candidate: "ROME is a Java framework for RSS and Atom feeds. It's open
 source and licensed under the Apache 2.0 license." But I have no idea if
 I'm overlooking an obviously better library.

 Thanks for any input on these questions. Any (useful) answers on these
 will speed up the implementation process.
