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...
