Comment (by carike):

 I am happy to hear that you noticed the privacy paragraph for Twenty
 Twenty-One, @arena :)

 The Privacy team does not fall under Meta, it falls under Core.
 So, if you would like to see information related to privacy,
 make.wordpress.org/core/tag/privacy/ would be the place to look.
 That having been said, a lot of discussions happen on Slack and do not
 make it to P2, which is meant for discussing proposals before they become
 actionable as tickets.

 An exception to that is this post:
 https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2021/01/03/protecting-childrens-privacy-
 on-wordpress-through-the-lens-of-coppa/, which is included on the Meta
 Make as it affects .org itself.

 There are tickets for WordPress Core be able to process privacy related
 information from plugins and themes, with a JSON schema for plugins and
 themes to submit (and Core, at some point).
 You can see that here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51092

 As far as an updated Roadmap goes, that is possible, but I am not making
 any promises. :)

 Privacy is a challenging component, in that it needs strong
 interdisciplinary collaboration.
 While there is currently (only very recently, mind you) **some** sponsored
 dev hours for Privacy (not full time / enough to meet project demands like
 described above), there are no sponsored hours for the non-dev work.
 Accountability reports aren't impossible, but someone actually has to do
 them. :)

 I do still stand by my original assessment that a top-level menu item
 should only be reserved for an expanded Privacy Policy, which we currently
 do not have yet.
