Do these same people object to web archives of the lists?  I'm curious,
because I don't really see a qualitative difference.  The headers
retained by an mbox but not exposed to the web don't seem all that
objectionable, especially since the web archives don't munge email
addresses.

I suppose it'd be necessary for the exported mboxes to honor the
No-External-Archive: yes and so forth, which might not be the case
today (I've never gained access to them so I don't know).
