Coincidentally, LWN has a similar item today:

	In 2005, the Debian project voted to declassify messages on
	the debian-private mailing list after a period of three
	years. That is easier said than done, apparently. The General
	Resolution (GR) calls for volunteers to do the work of
	declassification, and few Debian Developers seem eager to do
	the work required to make it happen.

They can't find volunteers either, because tidying historical data is
much less useful than forward-looking tasks.
