Well, the announcement needs its own page, possibly the wiki.  Then 
there would be a short mention on the main page pointing to that.

Code bounties are a whole separate matter.  For now, I think there are a 
lot of people who would be interested in just knowing the present 
status.  And some of them would be motivated to get involved by such an 
announcement.
