Granted, planet.gnome.org isn't that important, but it does lend credibility to the openness and activity of GNOME.
Comparing to KDE isn't quite the same. dot.kde.org is always active. An outsider can see what's happening in the KDE world with little effort, so KDE Planet isn't as important.
In GNOME, http://gnomedesktop.org is rarely updated, so Planet GNOME is a lot more significant if an outsider wants to keep track of GNOME. IRC, mailing lists, Guadec, etc are good for development, but aren't good for outsiders or casual interested but potentially new contributors to GNOME.
