Which in my opinion is managed quite well with the moderaters work.

I read Your page (second time :o))) and second what You wrote.

One solution could be:
For each mail sent to the list from a not subscribed user send a
automtically generated answer to his mailadress containing the already
generated search hash for http://www.mail-archive.com.

So no volunteer is bothered to even think about any subscription issues
and the "once in his life asking member" will be provided with the
answers.

Already done:
Each message sent to any of our public lists already has such a header.
This is the one of Your post I'm replying to:

No clue how much work implementing such thing.
