Yes, I was thinking about these too. People already subscribed to Guix blog wouldn't have to subscribe to another news feed.

No, I mean, your news application could be independent of the static website code in https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git. But I was thinking that maybe it could push the generated news to the posts directory in guix-artwork.git so that  your application wouldn't have to worry about the presentation part...
