At some point in the distant past  we had the
"PEAR Weekly News" in several
languages even.

There was some kludgy code for that somewhere on the pearweb
CVS IIRC [1], so
you can do something along those lines but better than what
we did back then.
At some point I think that even the Zend guys picked that up
and kept it going
for some time, reporting the latest releases from PEAR, but
that is also
history now (I think).

Cheers.
