 If so, how do you solve it?

 Not that I would be aware of.

 It would be great to hear some arguments so that we can work something
 out.

 In my opinion the tor project should have some of the "strongest" privacy
 settings to protect its users. I do think that many people are not aware
 of the negative side effects on their privacy when posting to a public
 mailing list with its current settings.
