I think it makes sense to stay closed for now. One of the reasons to
have a separate group is to make it less daunting to post to. Having a
public archive may work against that.

It also cuts down on spam (I moderate the git-security google group, and
the spam-blocking is far from perfect).
It is annoying if things get cross-posted to git@vger (whoever replies
with the cc intact will get an annoying "you can't post here" bounce).
But I'd try it this way for a while and see.

Makes sense. I just joined.
