Remember gnome-hackers? Mails get leaked all the time, and I doubt  
moving foundation-list private would make any difference. GNOME needs  
to continue to promote itself as a transparent and welcoming  
community, which we do very very well for the most part. Let's be  
careful not to throw all that progress away.
