Yeah, the private list gets copied on all comments on the fesco trac. 
Aside from those (already public) items, we have had so far in 2012: 

5 posts from members about being on vacation/unable to attend.
1 post about administravia (member added to trac admin)
1 post direct to list in reply to a trac ticket
1 post telling the above person to comment on trac. 
1 post to fesco/qa about a update in a freeze (in case it caused
release problems)
2 posts about meeting times

For a total of 11 posts this year.

Yeah, I haven't had to do that in a while, but I did do it a few times
last year I think. I think it gets easier when the convention is to
default to open instead of just posting privately.
