I think this is the: least we can do for those who are just interested in the Tor stuff, so: they can filter/skip those mails. I vote for just kicking people off the list. While this may feed into their fascism/censorship fantasies, dropping the signal to noise ratio doesn't help anyone search the archives nor get their questions answered.
That is not exclusive, the owners of the list are still free to do that, but it will be difficult to make a clean cut. You can never avoid OT posts, and I wouldn't say they have no value in general. I prefer some (few) of these discussions happening off-topic than not happening at all.
I bet it's easier to convince people to use a [OT] tag than to convince them not to post OT-mails at all, but prove me wrong.
