I feel like maybe we should call out that we're concurrently running the blog requests? Though the form in that post has already received more spam than legitimate blog posts, so I'm a bit hesitant to direct more traffic to it.

Still, I agree that linking to the previous blog post makes sense.

Maybe the form should also ask for a github username? The intersection of (people writing a blog post about rust in 2021) and (people without a github) seems pretty small.

I don't know how a GitHub username would help us -- if we really want to talk to the author of the post, we can likely reach out in a number of ways, though I expect we wouldn't have the bandwidth to do so anyway.

Oh, I was mostly referring to cutting down on spam.
