The biggest problem is that blogs aren't considered a notable source:

> Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Self...

This makes it really hard to defend open source software against WP:N allegations, since most of your coverage is from these kinds of sources...
