Do we *have* to rename the feeds?
We rename *everything*. I'm unsure why we can't just create a different account for people, rather than subvert the existing one. WikimediaTechNews, maybe. I don't know.
wikimediatech is shorter (which facilitates manual retweets) and frankly it's the name I would consider canonical for an account about wikimedia tech stuff (@wikitech is someone else).
Plus, we get to leverage the existing readership, while at the same time offering the possibility to subscribe to the automated log notifications for people who still want to read them.
