rev_news: developer spotlight

I am ok with this idea and I like the questions, but I think we have enough articles for edition 2.
Let's keep this idea for later when we might have less material.
Though it's true that we could start sending emails to some developers.

I would ask "If you could change something from Git ..." instead of "If you could remove something from Git ..."

@chriscool I like that question, because framing something in a more destructive mindset can spur creativity. Some "provocative" questions can also focus the mind of both readers and interviewees. If you think it is too tabloid, I don't mind changing it.

Ok let's keep "remove" then.
And maybe we can send the first emails after edition 2 is published.

@gitster @tfnico I am continuing here the discussion started on issue #56 (Any comment about upcoming Git Rev News edition 3) about having GSoC students as developer spotlight stars.

@tfnico are you ok to start sending emails with the above questions so we can have one developer spotlight in edition 4, or do you prefer to wait or that someone else does it?

[tfnico]

@chriscool At the moment I'm swamped both with GitMinutes and Jekyll, so I would prefer if we could delegate this.

[chriscool]

@tfnico if you are still swamped I will send emails soon to hopefully have one developer spotlight in edition 4.

[tfnico]

@chriscool Sure, I'm as swamped as ever.

[chriscool]

Ok, I will try to take care of this for the next editions as I did in edition 7, so I think we can close this.
