I don't see how that would be different privacy-wise from a mailing
list archive.

Perhaps you misunderstood my intention: I of course meant a private
archive, open only to the people reading the address.
I.e., exactly same set of people would be able to read it as
in the case of a regular e-mail account, they just couldn't
delete anything.
