Russ explained,

| be archived is something stupid -- don't do that."

If that's the case, then gmane management are not slinking around for lists to
grab: they're just naïvely believing anyone who says "this list I know of
wants you to archive it."  So they're like a mailing list that accepts
obviously forged subscriptions without confirmation.
