My point is that we don't have good privacy controls on FLOSS mailing lists now-- in terms the social graph it represents, the metadata, and the content. So the question is: what risks do FLOSS mailing list archives pose, as measured by analyzing the publicly viewable data in those archives? To answer your question: technically, yes.
