That was one of my long-term goals when I was bugmeister.
Unfortunately, I never got around to implementing it.

Briefly, this requires:

 - adding a new PR state, e.g. "fresh"

 - modifying Gnats to use "fresh" instead of "open" for incoming PRs,
   store them in a separate directory, and not send a receipt.

 - modifying the web query interface to *never, ever* show "fresh"
   PRs.

 - modifying the gnats cvsup collection to exclude the directory where
   "fresh" PRs are stored.

 - modifying Gnats to send "fresh" PRs to a closed list (to which only
   committers and / or bugbusters are allowed to subscribe) instead of
   -bugs, -ports etc.

 - creating tools for moving PRs from "fresh" to either "open" or
   "closed".  When a PR moves from "fresh" to "open", a receipt is
   sent to the originator and the entire PR is mailed to -bugs, -ports
   or whatever.

If anyone is interested in taking this on, I can offer further advice
on how to implement the above requirements.
