Hi,

See attached patch to make it more obvious that various contact e-mails 
are actually mailing lists.

This bug was inspired by following actual situation:

* some spammer sends a mail to a debian list, CCd to a lot of innocent 
  bystanders
* one of those bystanders finds his e-mail address in the archive and
  - reports the message as spam
  - writes to debian-www (as per w.do./contact) to have the mail removed 
    from the archive, not realizing that debian-www@l.d.o is actually a 
    mailing list

Now, because the original mail is spam, there is a chance that it will 
be eventually removed from the archives. The problem is that the new 
message is now a legitimate post to debian-www and will not be removed 
(as per the disclaimer).

Regards,
Andrei
