Generate discrete RSS feed for Newsletter (Backstage Weekly) blog posts

[knksmith57]

Hey team! 👋

Our whole team really enjoys reading the newsletter (Backstage Weekly) every week—thank you for putting that out for the community!

One bummer is that, because newsletter posts are now filtered out of the blog's RSS feed (#547), we don't have a good way to make it easy for everyone to be notified of new posts and to view them with the other feeds we subscribe to in Slack.

This feature was originally requested back in April 2021 (#177) and subsequently shipped just a couple of weeks later (#199)... But then it was removed last January (#547).

I'm wondering if y'all would be open to re-adding support for consuming the newsletter via RSS? Maybe by generating a discrete /newsletter/rss.xml file to keep them out of the main /blog/rss.xml if that is the underlying concern?

Thanks!
