I sent a colleague a link to the thread of answers to my last
questions, and he couldn’t read it without signing up for the mailing
list.
If this is by design ok, but if it’s just an oversight I would
recommend opening the list archives to indexing so the wisdom can
spread.

The archives are currently public and do not require signing up for the list.
It DOES require accepting a cookie to prevent email address
harvesting. This has a side effect of also preventing search engine
indexing. I'll take a look at the other protection methods offered by
Sympa and see what the best balance is that will allow for the
indexing.
Thanks!

the ideal thing would be to have an indexed lists, with names
protected by captcha (as with googlegroups) or simply not available
(as with mailman, I think).
This will probably sound strident, but I think indexing is important
enough that I would start the list over if there isn't a way to
achieve this with sympa... probably googlegroups if it were up to me

I've switched over to a javascript obfuscated name protection. Should
stop (some of) the bots, but still be human readable.
Thanks,
