Just had a quick look at this, seems like it only uses PGP for identity
verification (signing), not encrypting which is what I was interested
in. 

I suppose a weakness of such a setup would be the vulnerability of the
server to someone who could physically access it and read the file that
contains the PGP password to the server's private key. (because
obviously it couldn't be entered interactively as for a standard user).
So maybe totally encrypted mailing lists aren't possible?
