I find it odd that a report for the proprietary Github platform takes the newsletter's spotlight, it's not very relevant. I'd much prefer if the writer could expand his thoughts on those new version releases or featured blogposts, especially the ones he finds interested in.

AFAIK, the author isn’t anti-proprietary. His goal with the newsletter is to share news that relates to self-hosting, which isn’t limited to FOSS, which is something he mentioned in one of his recent newsletters (it’s a common criticism he gets apparently). And there’s the reality where the vast majority of the source for selfhosted software are hosted on Github.
