Something I didn't get that Jeff clarified to me in private mail is
that most of the gnome-private archives are actually from mails to
gnome-hackers, because gnome-hackers used to be private. When we took
gnome-hackers public, then gnome-private had very little traffic.  So
that's why the (really old) gnome-private archives have a bunch of
technical discussion in them. But more recent gnome-private is mostly
empty.

Maybe everyone else picked up on this, but anyhow, I didn't. ;-)
