Hm, I am a bit ... disappointed. Company, not community. Is this a
freudian slip?  Debian-devel, Gnome-devel, Opensolaris-devel,
Linux-Kernel, all those developer mailing lists are archived and the
archives are open to the public. 
I am a system administrator, not a developer, but it is very useful
for me to look over these lists every few weeks. I can learn about the
further direction of development. I can see how unstable the unstable
branch really is this week. Very often it helps me to solve/avoid
problems. 
Of course you have every right to have your private
discussions - perhaps there could be two developer lists?
