Description mwm 2000-09-29 03:30:01 UTC 
	It's generally easier to make the first selection than any
	other when doing a pr. This means that, in particular, tagging
	soemthing as "confidential" when it doesn't need to be is a
	common occurence (at least for me).

Fix: 

Change "confidential" to "public". Also change the code that
	reads these on the far end to detect "public"
	vs. "confidential", and set things accordingly. I can't
	provide a patch for that, as I'm not sure I have sources.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Actually, you can't. However, a survey of confidential PR's
	(which I don't believe I can see) would be interesting to see
	if my observation is true in general, or it's just me.

You're right.  Usually somebody will go through the confidential 
PR's every now and then and fix them. 

Our GNATS sources are not secret as far as I know, 
and an active maintainer would be most welcome :-)
