If the admin allows unmoderated subscriptions, then he has already
abrogated control over where the messages go.  Any subscriber could
take all of the messages and dump them on a Web archive.

I would like to be able to add public lists to mail-archive without
bothering the list admins.  I could do this now by forwarding all the
messages by hand (or automatically).  This would just make it easier.
