I added a note about it on the Bazaar homepage, and have reposted the
mail announcement into
<https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+announcements/>

I've added just this to the README for now:

 =================

 Bazaar (``bzr``) is a decentralized revision control system, designed to be
-easy for developers and end users alike.
+easy for developers and end users alike.  Bazaar is part of the GNU project to
+develop a complete free operating system.

 To install Bazaar from source, follow the instructions in the INSTALL
 file. Otherwise, you may want to check your distribution package manager

and will mention it in the NEWS for this release, of course.  I didn't
find anything else required by the maintainer guide or code standards.
 We could also add "Bazaar is part of the GNU project" to the
--version output.

The one from you that I currently see up for review is

http://bundlebuggy.aaronbentley.com/request/%3C47DB7DC7.8080400@arbash-meinel.com%3E

I'll try to read that today.> And I agree with Aaron that the weekly

It was just that.  I agree it's very useful.
