So you recommend that AUR should deviate from the Arch related mailing lists. Note, mailman mailing list could be set up to "The subscribers list is only available to the list members" as done for https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/aur-general and then the members could decide on their own, if they are visible by this list [1]. However, https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-general is set up to "The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator". So it was always the default and still is the default, not to provide such lists. There are sane reasons why those options are available, but we are at a point were nobody cares anymore about privacy and you recommend that providing such a list is appropriate. For what reason? Why not keeping what always was and still is default for Arch, simply to respect privacy? [1] "Conceal yourself from subscriber list? When someone views the list membership, your email address is normally shown (in an obscured fashion to thwart spam harvesters). If you do not want your email address to show up on this membership roster at all, select Yes for this option."
