How will the gnome-private membership list be maintained? The
gnome-hackers concept where the list membership was manually and
heuristically  maintained worked well when there were 50 people in 
the project and Miguel knew them all, but it doesn't seem feasible 
these days ... 

I think either it has to be based on some automatable criteria, or
we just kill the darn thing (finally).
