Yes.... we have been through this before and I thought resolved not to do it.
It only draws attention to that which is 'scrubbed' as it still exists in many public places and invites the comparison of the still public source and the scrubbed source....

Hi Rob,
I thought that privacy-related scrubs of mailing list archives had been halted, given (1) the many problems that they have caused in the past and (2) that once info is sent to a public list it is likely to be archived publicly in places outside of WMF control and therefore the usefulness of these wipes is doubtful.
James, you and I have discussed this issue previously. Can you please comment?
Thanks,
Pine

I already got a few messages pointing out that taking down the wikimania mailing list the week of folks traveling there may not be ideal for communication!
I'm working with legal to see if I can push this request for scrub to next week.

List Admins,
Please note that I'll be stopping mailman on 2016-06-21 from 16:00 to 18:00 UTC for some privacy scrubbing of list archives.
Unfortunately, mailman has to be stopped to prevent corruption during the archive rebuild for the affected list(s). I hope not to use the full 2 hour window, but cannot be certain.
Once the work ends and mailman is restarted, all unsent/queued messages will be processed for delivery.
Work is documented on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138228
