That was quick! I don't have time to review the blog post today. But should this go into content/inside-rust instead? I feel like this is more of an inside-rust blog post.

I'm not sure, this serves as a half announcement to overall the Rust community (they won't be getting new features for a while) and also to the contributors, as they now have distinct goals to aim to. (That tracking issue)

I don't think it will be really noticable to non-contributors, if there aren't any new lints for 2 releases. And the ones that do notice, will probably find this blog post, even when published in internal-rust
The internal-rust blog is for the contributors.

Don't you mean "dissect" here? (because bisection would probably give us the point of introduction of the lint)

So, after reading the whole blog post I understand that from end of June until mid-September Clippy won't accept new feature requests but only fixes to existing lints - is that correct?
I think a TL;DR; of this kind could help, since the title is nice 😎 but doesn't explicit what is really being communicated.
How about this slightly reworded version:

| The Clippy project will be on feature-freeze for 12 weeks, starting from Rust 1.89.0 beta (June 26th 2025) to Rust 1.91.0 beta (September 18th 2025). During this time no new features will be accepted, only bug fixes. |

I agree that this might be clearer to read, maybe not an explicit TL;DR because it's less than 500 words.
This is the initial draft for "The incoming Summer of Clippy", talked about in our All Hands.
For reviewing ease, here's everything I wanted to talk about:
We are currently blocked on not having a tracking issue for the good first issues (and we do not have a lot of issues marked with the label in the repo). But I think that this is still ready for an initial review from the team.
