To clarify, [email protected] is a public archived mailing
list which has nothing todo with the "confidential" word from the
very first minute it was created since 2020 Sept.

We indeed had some large scale discussions since at least seven years
ago (July 2018):
https://lwn.net/Articles/760142/

Those previous efforts are mentioned in Appendix C if people did
not notice its existence:
https://salsa.debian.org/lumin/gr-ai-dfsg/-/blob/main/AppendixC.txt

We have some relevant discussions in the past, basically scattered
across debian-devel, debian-project, debian-ai, debian-science
the four lists, throughout the past 7 years.
