I'm tempted to implement a more automated solution to this. Maybe we could write some XSLT to fetch the 2 newest "new committer" entries from news.xml and the 3 newest non-"new committer" entries and then use that instead of the 5 newest entries no matter what they contain. Then we never have a front page full of new committer notices (which looks like we have no real news) but still advertise our new committers. At the same time we could maybe fetch the newest entry from the java or gnome individual news.xml files, since those also are seldom copied to the front page. - Murray
