The blog post explains things pretty well.  A request was made to add 
the list to gmane without talking to the SC first.  It then became 
apparent that, at the time, everyone's email addresses were being posted 
to gmane without much of an attempt to obscure the addresses.  Leaving 
the addresses ripe for spamming was something we were uncomfortable 
with, so made the request to have it removed.

As for today?  Can't help ya there.
