I think that git should not be too big a barrier to entry for a tech blog. Additionally, considering this is aimed at programmers that are not already heavy bloggers, they are more likely to know how to use git than Wordpress.
If the number of contributors is sufficiently small--this really depends on how many people would be willing to put time into this--then we could probably get by with an IRC channel and no super-formal decision making process.
The most difficult part with a project like this is getting started; if we get to the point where voting becomes an issue, we've already got something so it will be worth more time and effort to perfect the system. For now, I think just chatting would do.
