To add some perspective:
I get about 2 emails a week from the website. People asking for help. About 20% are about the website, usually registration email failures. The rest are for general help (some I forward here). So I can attest to how clicky a web form is. Even though the contact web admin form is pretty well hidden on certain pages.

Hi Johan, Do you mean that you want to be able to click on the mail address, and that would call up the visitor's local email program with a new blank message? As one of those not-so-techy Inkscape users, I would find that confusing. I don't know if it was the old website, or the wiki, or if I'm thinking of some other website. But before I learned about mailing lists, if I would see a link that says "click here to send a message to the developers" or "click here to get help" or whatever, that's just what I would do....only to get the bounce-back error message that says I'm not allowed to send mail to that address. Not a positive experience. So that's just my perspective and opinion. I wouldn't mind if the address appeared alongside the existing links (to subscribe and archive) though :-)
All best, brynn

Hi all, Today I wanted to direct someone to our mailinglists, and found that on inkscape.org [1] the listing is probably a bit unclear. What I mean is: the actual mailaddresses are not listed. Any reason for that? Would be great if the section header ("inkscape-announce", "inkscape-devel", ...) would be the mailaddress
