Obviously I wasn't party to the private discussion, but that seems an odd
decision in a community that's so transparent in its intent an
implementation. I suggest the lists of moderators be made available
somewhere because:

   - The identities of the list moderators seem very hard to determine by
   any other means
   - This mode of contribution gets little enough recognition as it is, and
   the people contributing this way should be recognised.

There is a private@ list but we still publish the names of the PMC
members...
