My plan was to add a central page on lists.debian.org that contains
information like that and link to that from each and every page in the
archive. It'd be the disclaimer plus some of the most way-too-FAQ
(titled "Important information about the list archive" or something like
that, also listing the correct complaint address for lists.debian.org).
Given that translations are currently (cough, cough) not that
well-implmented on lists.d.o, it might be better to have that page under
www.d.o if you (debian-www) would be kind enough to sponsor the addition
of such a page. The advantage of NOT using www.d.o would be that
debian-www will not need to appear on the page at all (if we fear that
listing debian-www as the maintainer of the page will reduce the
incentive to send complaints elsewhere).
Of course, it could also be said that the web pages on lists.debian.org
(and liszt.d.o, ugh...) need some reorganization, but it seems like
Debian has no shortage of more fun and more urgent tasks.
Kind regards
T.
