I guess my definition of OpenSource is different. "Open" shouldn't mean
naive. This is like saying that "We are OpenSource, lets post root
passwords for everyone to use".

I never suggested that Jakarta should stop archiving the mailing lists.
Just that it should be done smarter. And the discussion further down in
this thread is just about that.
If other sites want to archive the mailing lists, it is their
responsibility to do the right thing. And obfuscating the addresses in
archive has never created any problems. You can always subscribe to the
list and ask if a particular person is around.
sed -e "s/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/../"
