Bah, replied to fast.

Other points of note...

1) Why post to forums.g.o if its on www, why would one check forums
instead of www.

2) Theoretically it could be crossposted to the forums, probably
simplest to do as a direct mysql insert, which'd be messy.

3) --news, my point of reamage.

This is what   bug 11359 was all about, I'm not quite sure why the
wheel has been brought up for reinvention, this is most likely going
to be a large change, and it seems that, instead of bugging portage
developers to add more stuff to 2.0 series, which is basically
relegated to bugfixes, we should just let them hack away at savior,
which will have this support integrated (hell, it has it already). 
Having a temporary hack is pointless IMNSHO.

In addition, seems like this could simply be something like
glsa-check, call it news-update why don't we, which simply reads from
the RSS feed (oh wow, i'm a genius!).  Make this part of system, 
convince the baselayout guys (this is a lot easier even) to make
emerge an alias that calls $(news-update) after emerge, and whaddya
know, we have liftoff!
