	I think it makes perfect sense to have the release-team
list private, but there should be a lot more people subscribed.
The release team may be the ones co-ordinating releases, but
there are lot more people involved in physically getting the
release out.

	I know I'd like a lot more insight into what the status
of upcoming releases so I could help out or know where there
are gaps etc. Basically it would be helpful (IMHO) for the
maintainers doing the releases weekly to know on a day to day
basis what's going on with a given release - the release
team minutes are interesting, but mostly from a historical
standpoint, not into the current action.

Good Luck,
Mark.
