The thinking behind c-m is to lower the entry bar for contribution. To
that end, people can ask questions which might, to the more
knowledgeable, appear naive. ("You don't know what Mercurial is?"
"You've never used make?") If the archives were public then
less-experienced questioners might shrink from exposing their ignorance
and would ultimately not engage with Python development.
Another "rule" is that you should not quote c-m posts literally outside
the c-m list. You can restate the question in general terms to, eg, get
input from python-dev or python-committers. Advice *from* the committers
on the list can be quoted elsewhere.
Note that the archives are open to all subscribers, and subscription is
open to anyone. So it's not particularly secret, just a low barrier to
remind people to respect the possible inexperience of posters.
