Best get cracking on how to get the ArbCom mailing
list contents, too. Don't they have their own mailing
list and IRC channel? The point of having an
admins-only list, as I see it, is to have a place for
discussion that's not interrupted by "omg I was
blocked out of policy!" Besides, if the archives are
posted publicly (which has been discussed on this
thread already, if I'm not mistaken), there's really
not any less transparency.
The privacy of arbcom deliberation has a completely different basis.
They are not about establishing policy, but about the private issues of
individual Wikipedians. It would not surprise me to hear that in those
heated circumstances the participants do not pay much attention to
whether their own statements are defamatory.
This list does in fact get frequent complaints from someone who was
blocked, but most of those threads don't last long. When an eMail from
a person that I don't know begins with "I was blocked ..." I have no
problem finding the delete key on my keyboard.
