This is a public email list, so everything on it is public in some way. Anyone in the world can sign up for the list, and any subscriber can view the list archives (ie, this thread is at https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/private/liberationtech/2012-June/004093.html). You can see the archives by choosing this list at mailman.stanford.edu and logging in. Or, people could use the link that you provided (which is indexed on Google, I think, based on a phrase search for one of the emails in that archive). Or, even if there weren't archives, since this is a public email list that anyone can sign up for, you should assume that whatever malicious user you are worried about has an account on the list and is getting every email that anyone sends to it and indexing it themselves.
At that point, any privacy you're getting is just security through obscurity. Sam King Director | Code the Change <http://codethechange.org> - we have a Code Jam for social good coming up!
