This is never going to happen, and nik@FreeBSD.org tells me that he knows of no reason why this information should continue to be collected. This patch kills mention of registering for the newsletter, and replaces the registration page with a simple form that merely subscribes and/or unsubscribes users to the announce and security-notification lists.
