+1 to this. Release announcements are already long-ish as it is. I
think there's a nice line to walk between having personality and not
being boring, informative without losing the reader,
That said -- I think there's definitely room for a mail / blog post to
the wider community celebrating the continuous improvements to the
sausage factory with each release. (Where, definitely room == people
would read it and it would be appreciated, not necessarily room in
someone's life to make it happen :D)
I agree wholeheartedly. This is something that could go to announce@
for instance, which should reach everyone in the contributor community
and beyond.
And something like that -- assuming it was published just before or
at
the same time as the release announcement -- would be a fine short
addition to a release announcement, IMO. "Want to see how the sausage
is made?" [1] ... "then read this link to take a peek inside the
factory, and how you too can become an official oompa loompa," or
something to that effect, in the contributing section.
I'd call this optional since we are not always good about tight-timing
that type of pricess. :-) But certainly worth social-media lovin'.
Note that the "how the sausage is made" joke has already
been used in
this context a bit :)

How can we forget? (And wouldn't want to.)
