All the News articles posted by the pgeu-system (Nordic, FOSDEM PGDay,
Paris, pgconf.eu, pgconf.de, Open SF, ...) are posted to Planet, and
they are
all tied to a personal account, rather than a conference account.

If nothing else, I rather see a conference post about News, not an
individual person.

It's not the other places, it's the fact that things are posted to Planet
first, and from there go to @postgresql.
