Unless Dries buys into it as a change to be made, it's not a useful  
next step. I am not in favour of aggregation for this process, never  
mind that the aggregator2 codebase is crufty. So, you need to  
convince people that this is a good way to accomplish end goals (what  
are those again?) and then convince Dries to install (and maintain  
for all time) aggregator2 on Drupal.org

With my story method, you do a simple cut and paste to cross post, as  
well as re-categorize within the options chosen on Drupal.org. Not  
hard. I mean, I could set up a "proof of concept" with story  
nodes...but it's a core module and I think the process is pretty well  
understood...
