I would not consider the openbsd-misc archives a higher risk than any other
mailing list archives.
There are ways to mask addresses in mailing list archives, but whether
the people in charge of the archives consider the effort required to set
up such a thing worth it is entirely up to them.
That said, if you have reason to believe that making your email address
available in searchable archives on the Internet, using an alternate
address for posting to the list might be a workable option.
