I 100% agree with both those statements.  Sadly this is the point in 
your email agree with.

We arent withholding information that would even be considered 
"somewhat" useful to new developers.

How are we preventing this with a private mailing list?  Bugzilla is 
still open, the svn is still open.  We are still active on ros-dev, and 
in IRC.

No one asked you to give up on working with ROS. You somehow took a 
simple comment someone made about a private mailing list that only has 
commiters on it to mean that we banished others from working on ROS.
