It seems to me that this rationale depends on a couple of unstated
premises:
1. If published, each mbox would contain one month's worth of
messages, all of the messages in one file.
2. it is significantly easier for spammers to download a single file
containing one month's worth of debian-user addresses, than it is to
crawl through individual messages (using, presumably, the posted
monthly author-indices).

If last month's author-to-subject ratio is representative, then
publishing monthly per-subject mboxes (instead of monthly messages
containing all messages) would invalidate premise 2 (and contradict
premise 1, obviously).

So, can anyone see a reason not to propose publishing monthly
per-subject mboxes?
