Thank you very much for giving this issue some focus. It was definitely
needed and I think this is a step in the right direction. This particular
approach seems pretty unconventional, even for Wikimedia. There is a page at
Meta-Wiki that takes a more conventional approach to this type of thing:

One might suggest that the people spending their day on Twitter reading
Wikimedia's "wikimediaatwork" feed aren't going to be the best prospective
employees.

Again, thanks for creating a feed. :-)
