In your list, the only information that I think is private are the
personal shipping address. But to me, the reason why it should not
appear in Trac is that it can change, especially for younger people
who tend to move a lot (going to university, then moving to another
city for a job, then changing appartment when they start earning a
little more money,...). So even if you let aside the privacy concerns,
it doesn't really make a lot of sense to be archiving it in Trac.

The problem is that if you want to open it now, you'd have to read
*all* tickets to see if there are some personal data that need to be
removed. So you can't count the number of tickets affected, you have
to count the total number of tickets.
Anyway, consider that as a huge +1 for opening the FAmSCo Trac. Having
the links to tickets in reports but being unable to read them is
frustrating, especially if you're directly concerned by the ticket.
And think about it as a way for us of the plebs to get to know better
what FAmSCo is doing :)
Honestly, I think that we can open the FAMSCO trac instance up. I was
worried about confidential information when we first set it up, but I
think time has shown that it isn't really an issue.
/me adds a vote on this to the agenda for the next FAMSCO meeting.
