I know what I wrote, I know what has been written to me. I've been told
that my message has been forwarded to the release team (however, it
never has been written to me that it has been forwarded to a public
list). It would take time (as I receive about 100 email a day and
because I don't remember who wrote it to me), but I could search in my
email backlog to prove it.
But at the end, I don't see the point in discussing it: it doesn't solve
any issue. I've underlined communication issues myself, and I agree it's
also my fault too...
Can we go forward and think of what can be done now, instead of arguing
about the past (mis)communication?

Debian has the culture of transparency for absolutely every single bit.
However, it might not be suitable on all cases, and I haven't seen
anywhere that this should be an enforced policy.
In my case, I was kindly asking for an advice, and it was my preference
to keep it private. Is this wrong? What's wrong in asking advices to the
release team privately, and tell about my plans for the release, if I
wish to do so? Just one example out of many I have in mind: I might
dislike to have some of my business competitors to read, and forecast my
next move.

I understand that unblock requests have to stay public.
