The use of the private list is to avoid discussing issues about people

either will not be granted commit privileges or that they need more
time to work in the project before being granted commit status.
Also, the usual pathway is that an existing committer proposes that a
contributor be granted access as opposed to the contributor making
that request.
This looks identical to a co-optation system as used in various
scientific and literary groups and communities. Why not call it that way
then? IOW, what the downside of skipping the public voting entirely
since it's a formality?
