Every other public archive of this mailing list is revealing your email
as well.  The "profile" is nothing more than analysis of your posting
habits, with hooks to allow people to "rate" the quality of your posts.

I find it odd, but I can't see that there's any violation of privacy
here.  You knew that the drupal lists were publicly archived.  Finding
out that another site is archiving them as well with props shouldn't
be that surprising.
