I don't personally know of anyone aggregating these types of articles on a
consistent basis but it seems valuable to me.  I think potential areas for
distribution of summary stories about such KDE articles could be:

* a regular spot on the Dot, say maybe a weekly or monthly report that
covers what the wider open source community is saying about KDE
* regular blog posts summarizing these things on the planet
* submission of these summary stories to some other news source such as
prominent 3rd party open source web sites, our KDE facebook page, linkedIn
group, kde forums, etc.

In short, if you have the time, I'd say it'd be fantastic to have this
information aggregated and posted somewhere on a regular basis.  If you
don't have the time to take care of it personally I'd say you should at
least add it as a task item on the wiki (
http://community.kde.org/Promo/Get_Involved/Jobs) so that someone else might
pick it up and run with it.
