Gmane would theoretically stop mirroring if
you stopped archiving, no? Of course, there is
no way to ensure security, but you do at least
have control over the official archive.
Not archiving would hamper the utility of the list to the project.
Remember that this is a work list for a particular project; having old
messages in an official, referable place is way too useful in
practice. There is no reason I can see that is helpful to the project
to stop archiving.
