Hopefully they'll chime in themselves.
I think you misunderstood the intent of gp's question. The "it" could be mean very different things:
(1) It is this particular #398 issue has something notable in it that the previous 397 issues don't have: https://this-week-in-rust.org/blog/archives/index.html
or
(2) It is the whole TWIR blog of only which #398 is merely a representative sample that has no more and no less significance than the previous issues
It's just that the poster linked specifically this one issue, instead of the homepage, so it's not like they want to make us aware that TWIR exists, they want us to notice this particular issue.
Like, maybe they are very enthusiastic about enums being able to easily implement Default (and thus you could #[derive[Default)] for a structure that uses that enum for a member)
Or they're extremely excited about fairly obscure new Clippy lints.
Still it's occasionally worth stepping back a moment, this is a lot of changes, isn't it a blessing that Rust is able to move this quickly? Like taking a moment to appreciate that, although the air on your street could be better (more EVs please) the lack of horses everywhere does mean it doesn't stink of horse shit this century.
But I suspect the reality is that you can sometimes get HN to upvote This Week in Rust, and so why not post it and get some Internet points? Unlike some off-topic rant about cats or Obama or a new movie, you aren't likely to get downvotes, so worst case it falls off the front page unnoticed.
