I get the underlying desire here to be able to simply rip out mailman in some places and put Discourse exposing all emails to everyone like they are on mailman.

It simplifies some modes of communications. It introduces other problems as well.

I am not sure if we will end up ever shipping a “your email address is completely public” mode for Discourse.
