Don't be confused. What is evil and annoying is being spammed.
We should not disseminate email addresses from people who subscribed
to our lists or allow others to do so. If this means forbidding
archives of Debian lists which do not protect email addresses, let's
forbid them.
If sourceforge and geocrawler protects email addresses in their list
archives, there is no reason why we should not be able to do the same.
