The list is configured as closed, but it's archived.  In general, I like to 
keep archives, since I think it provides useful guidance about how past 
activities were handled.  Your point about downstream stakeholders is 
interesting, though.  We should have a list somewhere about who they are.  My 
initial inclination is to make it part of this document, but I can also see the 
argument for it being private.  Do we know how others do it?
