Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Replying to [comment:6 ericmann]:
 > In the interest of moving all of the private posts functionality to a
 canonical plugin, would someone mind pointing me in the direction of
 existing code?  I can probably find most of it on my own ... but a head
 start would be nice.

 Searching the code base for 'private' and "private" gives a good starting
 point. Basically, it leads you to:

  - admin ajax
  - the post and page editors (including a js file)
  - meta boxes api
  - admin templates (lists and inline edit)
  - comments api (e.g. posting on private posts)
  - capabilities
  - xmlrpc
  - importers

 I think that the importers can safely be left untouched.

 The rest would basically need to be replaced with appropriate filters.
 Make sure this gets blessed by a core dev before you start, however.
