As far as I know, it wasn't an announcement, it was sending up a trial balloon amongst a known group who was likely to critique it honestly but fairly, before taking it public. Strikes me that happens all the time, and doesn't necessarily have to involve foundation-related lists but could be any group of people.

Yes I knew that. I was simply making an obverse point about the mis-usage of
"private" lists for sweeping public project announcements.
In any case, I try to avoid closed-source technology wherever I can.
