And why are the Drupal Mailing lists on it?
Nabble is a list/forum aggregator. I assume that Drupal is on it because the drupal mailing lists are public, and there's nothing to stop them from including it (much the same way that Google archives all public web pages).
It's also possible that someone in the Drupal community knows someone at Nabble, or even works for Nabble.
Is there a problem?
In general, I have a problem with "aggregators" that rewrite the URLs to their own domain. A true aggregator is going to point to the original source of the content, imho. To me, this strikes me as a scraper site used to steal content from other sites and claim it as their own. Maybe I'm wrong, but such practices have become big business.
