I’ve made some inquiries to find out who to talk to about this, but I haven’t heard back. I will let you know when I do.

I’d be happy to help shift it to Venus and give it a (desperately needed) themage update… who should I talk to?

I’m really looking forward to Google Wave and hopefully planets will die, so will many other things…

I was wondering myself how/whether I could set things up to selectively post to PGO or not…

This may be intentional on some installations, but often it’s not.

A good workaround might be to not touch the lastupdate field in wordpress when changing categories, but the same applies for correcting e.g. typos, too.

I think Planet should (be configured/patched) to only honor the “created” field.

The trouble is that if I decide to re-categorize or tag a post, or disable comments on it, it ends up back on Planet a second time.

I want to avoid having that happen, since I need to tweak old posts from time to time.

You may try to follow this way. :)
