The content is now and likely always will be *first* publushed on Meta. I personally think it would have been better to have published it on Wikidata, but it is a year too late for a change in venue now.

Moving from a wiki page, which everyone can build/edit, to a blog, which few people could build/edit, seems like a downgrade in this case.

Because that's precisely what blogs were invented for. Mailing lists are for discussions and announcements. Updates like this one are more comfortable to read in an RSS reader.

Hi Lydia,

These updates are a lot like a blog. Can it be a real blog? WordPress should be fairly easy to set up :)
