Yes; "want". Will fix.

>That page is about "Lists should be able to be private".  Do you really want to get into a discussion about privacy?  As the work of the IETF is supposed to be open, I suggest letting anyone who is "subscribed" to a draft see who else is following it.

That seems a tad radical to me. How do others feel about this?

When you say "who else", do you mean "which other lists include this draft" or "which people who created a list which includes this draft"?

Correct: there was an implicit definition (that I can make explicit) of "the person who created the list, whomever that person gives access to, and no one else".
