There's only 78 followers. Most of them are staff. That's not a lot of
people to leverage, so I'm not sure that's a valid point.
Why not "wmftech" ?

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.
