I think it would be wise to add encryption (and the requirement to
provide a key) to the pre-disclosure list. I wonder if mailman has
per-subscriber encryption capabilities.

If not then we should consider moving this particular list to a list
manager which can. Apparently whatever the linux-distros list uses can
do this (judging from
