It isn't public. The software considers it private. Emails to the list can be claimed to have been sent under the assumption that it isn't going to be published on the web.
Who cares what the software thinks? Anyone can subscribe and get instant access. It's public
This was previously discussed in thread "List archives" from March 29 to April 11
I suggest you take a look at who started that thread...
I'm more interested in why, three and a half months later, the list is still private?
And when this will be rectified?
Andrew Turvey quit as list admin on 31 May, according to thread 'Listadmin wanted for wikimediauk-l', making the list admins David Gerard, James Forrester, Mike Peel and Richard Symonds.
thehelpfulone replaced Andrew Turvey as list admin.
Between 31 May and today, Mike Peel has also stopped being a list admin.
The list admins are currently James Forrester, David Gerard, Richard Symonds and thehelpfulonewiki. At least one of them hold a full time position to tackle tasks that benefit the UK chapter, and I think that fixing the private status of this list should be considered one of them.
