And for the record, the purpose of moderation is to keep spam from showing up on the lists. It's not to restrict messages from specific users. As a moderator, if I see a message that appears to be relevant to the group, I'll allow it regardless of what email address it comes from. I might look closer at a message that comes from a suspicious address (like only allow that one message) but I'm certainly not filtering messages to keep email addresses private.

Actually, most email Apache email lists are moderated, and emails from non-subscribed users do not go through to the list unless the moderator approves it. There is just too much spam around to allow non- subscribed posts. I'm surprised to hear that jspwiki lists do not have moderation

Yes, they are, but as a moderator I personally don't remember all the correct email addresses of all the people who have subscribed to the mailing lists. I doubt anyone does.
