If it has to stay publicly searchable though, is there a way to add rel="nofollow" to the links when they appear in the trac archive? That should remove the appeal of this vector for stuffing links in to the trac archive. 

The mailing list archives should contain no html as thats filtered
out by mailman already
I see only raw urls in text. In fact i wonder how much that affects
search engines

thx
