I, for once, want my subscriber money go towards what I paid for: Creating high quality journalistic articles about Linux and Open Source Software.

Making the internal CMS with highly customized code, catering to a special workflow, deployed exactly once, is neither part nor aim of our subscriptions.
Quite to the contrary, setting up and maintaining a needed external-facing infrastructure (web site, mailing list, etc.) detracts from the journalistic work, so it might be even detrimental.
