Agreed fully, also my thought.

One more thing we have been discussing is to include a link to that info
directly in the QGIS interface, for an easier discovery by the hundreds
of thousands users that never visit our blogs, ML, etc.
Of course we should find the right balance between visibility and
unobtrusiveness.
All the best.
