The GR was an interesting idea, but based on the number of debian-private
participants who, for anything that would be of any interest whatsoever
after three years, have said they don't want their messages ever
disclosed, I think in practice participants have spoken and have basically
vetoed any sort of effective disclosure.
People have gotten much better about pushing things out of debian-private
when they no longer become about things that need to be private, which is
probably the best solution anyway.
