I have not yet tested it, but a few thoughts too the general idea.
1) the URI of an issue should be definetly its URL, like
http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/<year>/<issue>/. I wouldn't add
index.<lang>.html to that. It's the same issue, just other translations
of it.
2) Want we really to include the whole issue in the feed? Is this a
usual practise (I'm not a heavy RSS user)?
3) I think we should include several issues in the feed, not just the
current one.
4) We should use the SUMMARY, editor and translator info and and add
it to the feed.
More when I have tested the code. I will also try to actually implement
some of my ideas ;)
