As part of the copyright research, I've noticed that there was a gentoo-trustees@l.g.o mailing list, and it's archived on archives.gentoo.org. Given that it's not published on website, I'd like to ask: 1) whether the mailing list should be considered private or public? (and potentially published on archives.g.o) Or possibly dev-eyes-only? 2) whether I can grep it for 'copyright' (in 2003-2004), specifically looking for mails that could shed some light on history of copyright assignments? If 1) is 'no', 2) is 'yes' and I find something useful, I'll afterwards ask the mail authors for permission to publish or reference specific mails.
For the record, the list seems to have been listed on lists.gentoo.org for 2.5 hrs. Apparently it has been added on vapier's request, then removed because it was no longer used. https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/htdocs/main/en/lists.xml?view=log revisions 1.96, 1.97 The description said: The Gentoo Trustees Mailing list
For my 2c: 1 Yes 2 Yes I don't remember it ever being implied that it was a private list.
(CC-ing infra in case they know more)
Robin mentioned on IRC that the list has already been made public in the past. I've found [1] that seems to prove it. Apparently it's been made private again as part of archives replacement. [1]:https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/66382b75684e389a83c670fa6bfe04d3
<hat type="infra"> I confirm that the gentoo-trustees list was public, and this can be seen on the Internet Archive as well: https://web.archive.org/web/20090421221936/http://archives.gentoo.org/ Please make it visible again on the new archives interface; as a visible-but-closed-archived list. </hat>
Updated pushed, waiting for deployment.
