I don't a unarchived private list is a good thing. All the other private
mailing lists we have (board-private, fesco etc) have archives and that
means when new members come in at a later point,  they have
institutional knowledge and history to look at and learn and that's
pretty important.  I also think, if you are going to establish a code of
conduct, once formalized needs to be signed by all Fedora contributors. 
This is how projects like GNOME do it and brings forward a commitment at
some level to follow it.  A checkbox similar to CLA in the Fedora
account system should do it.  Since the CLA is getting replaced by a
different agreement, both of these things can be done together I hope.
