Re: Talk/event proposals "Closed source"

OK keep them closed. But at least at the bottom of
https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/new/
mention (before he hits the submit button) that

"Your proposal will be held for review and only will be made public if
approved."

Else it might take weeks for him to find that his e.g.,
https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/25/
was giving 403 Forbidden to some users.

Indeed the "Any notes for the conference organisers? These are not
visible to the public." on the last textbox might lead users to think
that proposals are public from the start.

So fine, keep the closed policy. But at least on the form state the
policy.

Indeed, with confidence that their rejected proposals won't be made
public, maybe you will get more proposals.

Currently submitters don't know if their proposal will be made public
once they click submit, or not. So at least tell them, before they hit submit.
