Way back probably more than two years ago a list called reorg was created to deal with the subject of ASF reorganization. That was a most interesting experience during which a lot of opinions were exchanged about what this organization is. I could be wrong - but my understanding was that this list was established as a indirect result of that discussion - but I also remember lots of discussion about if the list should be private or public and I seem to remember that a vote/poll was taken at that time - and it was my understanding that archives of this list would not be public (consistent with the statement on the ASF pages I referenced above). Personally I would be in favor of this list serving as forum for all committers and for archives to me restricted to the same audience.
