Newsletter issue announcements should be formatted in a more human-readable way
Open, LowPublic

Description

Summary
The current list of issue announcements in the Newsletter extension read very much like a system log with action, date, and user information first, and the actual context of the announcement last.

Description
The order of each announcement should not "bury the lede" and be arranged so that readers (and publishers) can quickly see the context of past issue publications topics

Current entry format:

Example
(change visibility) 14:51, November 13, 2017 Qgil-WMF (talk | contribs | block) published at Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile PDFs (New print to PDF feature for mobile web readers)

Structure
<action> <date> <user> published a new issue of <newsletter name> at <page> <issue summary>

Suggested entry format:

Example
New print to PDF feature for mobile web readers - a new issue of Tech Showcase newsletter published by Qgil-WMF (talk | contribs | block) 14:51, November 13, 2017 (change visibility)

Structure
<page><issue summary></page> - a new issue of <newsletter name> published by <user> <date> <action>

You are right, but I believe the current list of issue announcements is literally a log. Does someone know how difficult would be to parse this information as @Ckoerner suggests?
