What about marking the mailing-list as subscriber-only instead of removing information ?

This MAINTAINERS entry still contain the link to the web page - and from there the information about the mailing list is easily available.

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.

It would still be far better to just add " (subscriber only)" on the end of the list name line
