Can't do anything but help as possible, from
whatever forum.
Perhaps I'm obsessing a bit, but clearly Signpost would at least run
an article about the increase of new users after the news. I would
assume you would be on Wikipedia longer, though, so yeah.
These are the folks interested enough to click contact
us, so
there's certainly more.

We don't want a large influx of editors

reading about things in the news, only to run
into someone
unfriendly or rules-bound.
I agree. Maybe have a Signpost-like note to everyone subscribed to
Signpost? Maybe have that actually in the Signpost? Something like
"Editors note: There's an influx of newbies, so please be patient".
How will that work?

Do we have a welcome mat rolled out and some
magic pixie dust to tell
people to please not be BITE-y? No, seriously. We
don't want a large
influx of editors arriving to help after reading
about things in the
news, only to run into someone unfriendly or
rules-bound.
