The following reply was made to PR conf/1608; it has been noted by GNATS.

This is a MAJOR > mistake. Well, since the summaries of outstanding PR's are also sent to the list, we don't have much use for the 'confidential' header. What are we supposed to do? Look at the PR numbers when they arrive from the mailing list and notice that one of them was skipped, and go and see what happened to it? IMHO, unless we find somebody to filter them by hand, we should delete the confidential: header from the skeleton entirely and make the incoming filter refuse them, giving instructions on the correct place to send security problems and contact addresses for keepers of major parts of the system if it's really essential that it not go out on the mailing lists. Remember, the gnats database is also going out via ctm to the public. Cheers, -Peter
