progress of fixes.

I don't think we want to do this. Imagine someone files a bug to us with an embargo date of: future. Someone reading the list archives could easily get that information and release it to the public ahead of the embargo date. Essentially, by cc:ing a public list, we broke the embargo ourselves.

We want to honor embargos as much as possible, so we can continue being in good favor with those who give us advance notification. Additionally, when we are planning to release something on a given day, and it turns out to get leaked, we have to scramble much more quickly. Not good for many reasons.
