There is no need to keep this behind closed doors. If the 'public' cares enough about a specific issue being discussed, it might even encourage audience participation, which wouldn't be bad, I don't think...we often wonder what the users are doing, so if we have a chance to hear from them about things we're planning that will affect them, this is a good thing! > I'd say that creating the new mailing list should happen when we > notice concrete problems with existing discussions and agree that a > private list would solve them. Also agreed. If the policy specific volume on maintainers@ becomes a significant proportion, we could split it out at a later time.
