By cleaning up newsletter.geany.org we could use the current newsletter
issue as index page for the site which I think would be cool.
If you really want, we could add some kind of footer (or a small
header) to link to the Wiki as well as the autogenerated index page.
So, users can just point their browser to newsletter.geany.org and
always get the latest newsletter issue presented without any further
clicks.

Maybe. This could be solved by a header or footer, see above.

Not at all.
Making a new newsletter issue is always manual work, this is not an
automated process and so I think adding a line which is mostly
copy&paste in the wiki, isn't the worst thing ever. Whatever, I'd happy
to do this if it seems like a hard task.
