Are you talking about archives? If so, mild obfuscation is done by
default unless you put

ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS = No

in mm_cfg.py.

If you're talking about things like the list roster, this is controlled
by the list's Privacy options... -> Subscription rules ->
obscure_addresses setting.

If you're asking if you can put JavaScript in Mailman's HTML templates,
you can.

But, if you want to use JavaScript to improve on the obfuscation
already done, you'd need to modify the code that does the obfuscation
(which isn't all in one place).
