If I subscribe to a mailing list I do this to read the mailing list,
AND NOT to find my name retrievable by a name server. If this would be
my intention I would registrate my name. But it is not my intention.
Who cares who I am?

P.S.: For the same reason all lists at DB0TUI11 are set to
Review= Owner. To be review-able is a side effect which is
unknown to many subscribers (and isn't brought to their attention).
Before I can give away data about a person I have to ask that
person.
