Doesn't this undermines the values of the open source community? While where at making a private list for discussions, why not make the whole gnome project, closed source. The news we generate from such discussions, gives the gnome project public visibility that is needed for gnome to grow.
The reason I love open source is that it open for ___anyone___ to participate in the community and allows for people to come up with ideas that "Foundation Members" never would of thought of. It's the whole point of open source.
