What should we do with potentially sensitive or private matters in lilypond? I see two possible solutions: 1. Pick one person to manage private discussions. Whenever there is a potentially sensitive topic, send an email to that person. He will then decide who should discuss the issue on an ad-hoc basis, and forward or CC them on future emails. 2. Have a private mailing list with a known list of people who will discuss such matters. That list may still have a single “secretary” who receives initial emails, but that person will then have a set list of people to discuss such topics with.
I would be in favour of a fixed private mailing list with publicly known members to decide a publicly known list of issues, including the obvious granting/withdrawing git push access, but probably little else. Membership should be either Graham, Han-Wen and Jan, or these three supplemented by two others. Requests for a private discussion would be sent to this list, avoiding the single-Graham point of failure. Other issues which are better discussed in private should be conducted by an ad hoc group chosen to suit the issue, since these are likely to be rare and diverse. The membership of such groups could be on the list of issues decided on the private mailing list described above.
