My proposal (nothing I haven't said before multiple times)
- Make gnome-hackers public subscription
- Make gnome-private exactly gnome-foundation members.
(Some problem if we are only processing membership applications
once a year, but maintaining a separate heuristically
maintained group of "cool people" is just not feasible
at the current size of the GNOME project.)

gnome-hackers-posters - people who can post to gnome-hackers without
approval. (Because gnome-hackers is closed posting, postonly gnome org
doesn't work for it.)
gnome-hackers-readonly - subscribe to this if you want to read
gnome-hackers without posting privelgaes
gnome-private-members - people who can post to and receive mails
from gnome-hackers *and* gnome-private
gnome-private-posters - people who can post to gnome-private without
approval. (Because gnome-private is closed posting, postonly gnome org
doesn't work for it.)
gnome-hackers - No direct list members
gnome-private - No direct list members
Confusing, perhaps, but I don't think that confusion creates
active harm; only the people moderating the lists need to
understand the distinctions here.
Regards,
Owen
