Ideally, there are 1/2 persons in charge of gathering/editing stuff.
So everything should go to these - we could automate (make a form to
help people submit stuff) but first, having the thing rolling would
help see the needs.

Yes. And we can plan in advance/automate the publication when we have
enough of these*. The focus is primarily really on the picture and
short context presentation - but we may add some more if there's more
available (link to blog interview post, podcast, anything).

* counting founders, contributors, I think we can project at least for
80 days, provided we secure a photo for each. Counting donators or
potential news/events, we can project much more.
