Sorry, don't.
 - Even if you are pretending to be a git community member, you are merely
   a phoney if you are not reading it.
 - If you want to be up-to-date with what is happening in the community,
   you should be reading it.  Any important announcement always will
   appear there.

That would be an official blog. I do not use mine that way, and nobody has to follow it in order to function better in the git land.

It's like expecting Linus to announce the kernel release in his blog.

Not going to happen. The official channel of this community has always been this list.

I'm OK if somebody declares that he will use his blog to relay important announcements from this list, to help blog minded people to follow it instead of reading the list.

But that won't be me.
