There is a feedbot that will pick up news from Debian rss and news feeds and repost them there.
The reasons for the new subforum are many but the most important is that when I am pushing news out I tend to forget to add the forums as you all are already pretty informed, I still make the effort to re-type and repost here but distractions happen. To ease that and to keep everyone on the same page, I added the bot to the forums to post there and there alone.
This bot covers the main Debian blog: bits.debian.org, it does not follow the shorter news service Debian has which is micronews.debian.org.
So if you were already reading our news sources, great, but now you can do so with one or two less mouse clicks.
