Please stick to the topic. In this thread it is about mailing lists.
However, I'm not against discussing the debbugs issue in another thread
because it is for sure relevant.

While I admit that my primary goal was actually doing such statistics
and it might also an interesting topic what result we finally can
publish this is also a different topic. So I tried to clarify the
topic in the subject a bit.
The thread is about publishing mboxes of the mailing lists at
lists.debian.org which are containing the information which is also
available via the HTML archive. It was also about the listmaster
attempt to strip some information from the archive. Some reasoning
about stripping names was given by you, but I'm in the line with
Bernhard that your reasons do not apply here. Debian is not
*collecting* data (like in a web form were you fill in data to do some
research) but we are rather logging information people are providing.
That's a different issue and striping name information would reduce also
the content of the archive: It sometimes is important who says
something.
The work to convert the original mboxes to those that can be published
and which are cleaned up from SPAM is in progress. I hope we could
reach some consensus that those mboxes could be made available for the
public.
Kind regards
Andreas.
