Since such a thing could be obtained by scraping the posts, it doesn't release any information that's not already out there. So it's (IMHO) a non question, privacy wise.

It does disclose for how long a member has been on the list and what his role is - important public information IMHO. Yuv signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

This page doesn't include email addresses, just usernames. Why, is there a benefit? I do not get what use case there is for browsing a list of mailing list subscribers. The list is a community. We also have some history with another panorama software list where a moderator abused their position by keeping things like this secret. I am not strongly opposed, if you think it is for the best do it. There is just a gut feeling telling me to not publish stuff unless necessary.
