This is an open list: anyone can subscribe and archives are public. This is a standard practice.
Since we already post all the mediawiki-l emails to the web ourselves, I don't think we have much to worry about from external archives.

hmmm, but they are posting my emailadress and my fully residential adress (which was given in my signature) without my permission too. i didnt remember that this was written down while subscribing. so if this site is caught by a spambot, we all will receive a lot of viagra mailings. on the other hand, rob is whining two or three days ago about "not to post theese mailings on the web" so what this all about ? anyway, ill unsubscribe this list

Then don't be an idiot and put your postal address in e-mail signatures that you send to public lists. I don't mean to be rude, but if you don't want these things to be public KEEP THEM PRIVATE.

Besides which, this site in particular seems to be going to some lengths to hide email addresses from robots.
Gmail addresses are listed as user at googlemail (not gmail.com). If you click on the link you can see an obfuscated IMAGE (a la in a CAPTCHA) of the email address.

It's not hiding them. Google issues googlemail.com addresses to all new accounts created in the UK, due to legal / trademark disputes. Gmail is now known as Googlemail in the UK.
