Yes, being listed on Google News can certainly bring focus to the
articles affected, both for good and ill. Those listed right now are:

Speaker of the British House of Commons election, 2009

David S. Rohde

20 June 2009 Taza bombing

How about a category" Category:Google News

Maintenance would consist of adding the category to articles currently
featured and removing it from those no longer featured.
