As a Launchpad user, I'd rather see these tweets/dents come from the
Launchpad identi.ca/Twitter accounts. I don't want to have to follow
several people, or run a tag search, to see what's changed in
Launchpad.

Not everyone has write access to the LP Twitter and identi.ca accounts
but I can certainly give that access to members of the Canonical LP
team and will act as a proxy for community contributors.

I agree but I think we should always aim to blog about changes that
are interesting, either because of the impact they have on people who
use Launchpad or because they are implemented in some cool way.

I speak to the teams leads fairly frequently about interesting stuff
that's coming up and we're pretty good at blogging about these with
little procrastination. A tweet, dent or update to the FB page are
also good, though.

I don't want to be a bottle-neck to getting features announced but I
am mostly definitely available to help/do such announcements.

If you're working on something that you reckon is announcement-worthy,
and it seems I haven't spotted it, do ping/mail/call me.
