This has been said in here by a few people already, but I think one thing that could help a lot is to have a few more moderators for the forums/IRC. A topic started by a "green name" is a lot more likely to be responded to by the community than anyone else... This topic is a great example of that.

Also, I do think that a PR could work. Give them access to view, but not post in, the Developer's private forum/IRC channel (I'm not ecactly sure how you handle that) and have them release weekly info based on what they read in those forums. Obviously, the PR person wouldn't just copy/paste everything and would use some discretion in his updates. That would take some of the stress off of the Developers in having to update the community and let them focus more on "developing" rather than having to deal with the community.
