Nope, on both counts.

Great, so far for KISS... :-(

There is no requirement for a public archive

Okay, please tell the Webmaster to remove this clause
from the SHOULD NOT rules published on the "other
lists" page. Maybe submit the IESG list and other
closed lists. I'd offer an "1F" for DEA, if this
[meep] still exists.
you did notice that the IESG list is on the page?
any posting to any of those lists is a "contribution" under RFC 3978 rules, which means
that IF someone uses something posted there in the
IETF process, he can assume that the original poster has given permission to do so.

How does that differ from my second point ? You said "nope, on both counts".
It means that reuse of what you write isn't limited to "might be adopted in an IETF standard if it's a good idea" - you may also (to give another example of reuse under 3978) see your words quoted in someone else's posting that explains why what you wrote is not such a good idea after all, for instance :-)
