I understand that it may seem disrespectful to ask people to leave.  An
alternative would be to introduce a foundation-private list.  One way or the
other, maybe that's a better idea.  Humm.  Yes, that is better.  I'll amend my
request (it has three other signatures already.  Hope those people don't mind).

I still donate some gtk.org/gimp.org resources and help maintain them, but
doubt I do enough directly for GNOME to qualify for foundation membership.

Even so, it has been nice to keep track of the politics and the occassional
administrative notices.  Making more conversations private would be a step
in the wrong direction.  It just keeps everyone else at a distance and
effectively pushes them away.
