We also have the "missing name" problem with our existing mailing list

didn't answer to these, maybe you missed it, or is this feature intentional?
It makes very strange to look at messages where you have no clue who
posted them. It's not even possible most of the time to tell who is asking
and who is answering
I can turn this feature on and off. It's off to keep spammers from
trolling our archives and getting all of the email addresses so they can
have new spamming potential.
It's a simple change if we want to expose ourselves to such.
If you believe that users will do better in a forum for less investment,
then I'm ok with it. Just enter with the expectation that it will be
compromised and it will need to be dumped and rebuilt from backups once
in a while.
If the spammers would simply vanish, this would be a much easier
solution and I would be much easier on it. But reality is that it will
get broken. Unfortunate but likely.
I'm not going to stand in the way and your reasoning seems solid.
But I would like for the developers list to stay on email since it has
momentum here. There are hundreds of people reading this list.
