That's good to know. :-)

Yes, gcc-announce seems a good place to publish that (and later also
on the main page).

Would you mind crafting a draft of what we could send to gcc-announce?

This sounds like a good plan, and (in case it's needed) I'll be available
all of next week up to Friday afternoon (morning you time) for web pages
Apache config, and in the worst case (though Chris is king there) root
issues on gcc.gnu.org.

So, perhaps switching on Tuesday might be preferrable (though Chris is
probably more important to have available than me)?
