that's my mistake in the minutes: the "asked around" was referring to
the wiki page (https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/PrivacyCampaign2013)
we set up after the announcement of the privacy campaign results at
GUADEC, as well as informal polling of maintainers and contributors of
security-related projects; for instance, Andreas reached out to Stef
Walters about potential ideas, but that happened only recently. to be
fair, I think asking for concrete proposals on foundation-list would
be a terrible mistake: desktop-devel would probably be more effective
— in fact, the first proposal of the privacy campaign, which included
potential work areas, was sent to desktop-devel:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-December/msg00077.html

I was honestly convinced that Karen did send an email (I do remember
the discussions at various meetings quite vividly), but it's probably
the result of me discussing this stuff off and on in various venues
(IRC, email, social networks) that I may just have been confused. I
apologise for that.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
