And how exactly would you propose that TorProject verify such a list?

Keep in mind anything on the trac is _not_ necessarily endorsed by
torproject or official in any way.

It is just one user's opinion. That particular list is unsubstantiated
and does not provide any evidence for it's claims.

On the other hand, you should assume any email provider can read your
mail, so if it is sensitive use client side encryption such as pgp.

Then you will know for certain only the recipient can decrypt it. If
it is an account used on a mailing list such as this one, it is going
to be public anyway.

It is probably a good practice to sign your emails too, this makes
impersonation virtually impossible. (Assuming you keep your private
keys secure).
