Huh?  You do realize all of our emails + addresses here are
already publically archived and trivially easy to crawl for
spammers, right?

I guess only the lurkers will have the right to worry...

Anyways, I consider the lack of obfuscation in mailing lists a
feature; it makes communications more robust against a single
point of failure.  Everyone can still contact each other if SF
shuts down.



Fwiw, I also plan on getting public-inbox to support
"centralized" mailing lists like this one (where the convention
seems to be reply-to-list, rather than reply-to-all).

Right now, public-inbox is great for the git.git project:
https://public-inbox.org/git/ where reply-to-all is expected.
No addresses are obfuscated at all.  Many people can follow that
list completely anonymously without subscribing, using Tor
.onion (NNTP|HTTP), or via HTTPS.
