[libre-riscv-dev] publish crowdsupply update ourselves

[Jacob Lifshay]

since crowdsupply is taking such a long time (about 3mo, I think), I think
we should just publish the last update ourselves, otherwise it will be waay
out of date by the time it's finally published.

We should probably also set up an announcements mailing list such that we
can just email everyone on it, and, since we control it, we won't have to
wait for crowdsupply or someone else.

What do the rest of you think?

they reach far more people, with a much greater impact.

it is a very exclusive platform.

to build the same mailing list with the same reach would require us to hire
and create a marketing and PR team.

even large well established innovative companies do not do that.

what do they do?

use a crowdfunding platform.

i feel it is worth continuing to be patient with them, given the longterm
support they've shown for so many years.

Ok, yeah, that's pretty impractical.
