I am confused.
*Why* would the Foundation press release not be hosted on the Foundation website exactly ?
And, what would be the benefit to put a press release in a place where anyone can modify it after it is send to press ?

This is how I understood the proposal.
On en.Wikinews we are using Portal: namespace to create areas of news concentrated on a specific topic. It would be easy enough to create a Portal:Wikimedia for press releases about Wikimedia, with new press releases created as Portal:Wikimedia/Press release date/Title or similar naming convention, to keep them out of the main namespace.
Another option for en.Wikinews would be to create a portal-like page under the Wikinews: namespace, perhaps Wikinews:Wikimedia Foundation press releases. Similar idea for naming the press releases.
We could not run them as articles, but I believe we can host WMF press releases so long as they are not in the main namespace.

Okay, wait, maybe I misunderstood you.
Do you want to put all Wikimedia press releases on
Wikinews, instead
of putting them in the so called "press rooms"?
