Hi Zeljko,

Actually you can set mailman (the tool we use for lsst lists) lists to be
"private", that is to require someone to be subscribed to see the list
contents and you have enter your email and password.  This is a
configuration setting.  Then the administrator simply manages who is allowed
to subscribe.  I believe (after some initial confusion on the list manager's
part) this is how the lsst-scmgt list is configured.

You can also set the entire list so that it is hidden from the overall list
directory page, so you have to know the name of the list to find it.

Of course, for lsst-data, we WANT the list to be readable, so it is not set
that way.  But this can be done on an individual list basis, so if you
wanted lsst-sc that way for example, it can be set with those parameters.

Jeff
