I'm not that optimistic ;-)

Sure, I got that and I tend to agree. But let me say what I meant in 
different words again: Afaics most RPM Fusion (or 
dribble/frehsrpms/livna beforehand) contributors up to now didn't blog 
much about their 3rd party work -- at least I didn't see much blog posts 
about it on planet fedora. There is also not that much contribution to 
our wiki from packagers. So maybe most packagers are not that interested 
in "writing about their work and their packages" and that's why I'm not 
100% sure that this will be different with a official RPM Fusion blog (¹).

But we'll see; maybe I'd wrong (hopefully I am). I just thought it's 
worth mentioning. What my mind maybe wanted to say: Maybe start small 
and don't put to much work in FAS authentications before we know for 
sure that people will use that blog.

/me shuts up now

Just my 2 cent of course.

(¹) Further: I often think "hey, I should blog about this" and later 
don't find time for it; I fear that will be the same with a official RPM 
Fusion blog...
