The pginfra team, which has some overlap with core but is a separate
group (I'm not a member), are the guys with root on the servers.
So you have to trust them too as far as information security goes.
I don't know that the exact procedures for the CoC group have been
decided yet; but most likely it will work like the core team, for which
there's a closed mailing list that's not archived on the project servers.
The weakest link in the CoC traffic is likely to be the individual
committee members' email accounts --- I trust they'll take some suitable
precautions.
