I like the idea, nevertheless the big question that springs to my mind 
is: Do people really want to make posts (aka. blog about stuff that 
happens)? And do they not only want to, but actually do it later?

I mean, everyone of us that is a Fedora contributor already could have 
simply done it: Set up a blog somewhere, add its rss feed to Fedora 
planet and post about interesting things that happen in RPM Fusion (or 
dribble/frehsrpms/livna beforehand). Nearly none of the current 
contributors did that afaics.
