For what it's worth, I saw the mail Havoc was referring to, and it
didn't say the list would be private (which it's not), just that it
would not be widely publicized beyond gnome-hackers.

It seems like almost a moot point how public the list is now that it's
been widely flamed about in public, although "decision by Miguel and
Nat" does not seem like a good model for open,
non-corporate-controlled decisions going forward.
