As someone who occasionally sorts through the Foundation's email, a
lot of that deals with the private issues of individuals (Wikipedians
or otherwise).
I suspect the real solution to this is for there to be two lists, one
for debating policy (noisy, public) and one for dealing with real
problems (private). Danny can use the second list to feed action
items from the Foundation to responsible administrators to deal with
them in a responsible and discreet manner.
