Is it possible to remove the option "Conceal yourself from subscriber list”?

You can go to the admin UI for the list and select "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" on the upper right and then edit the "User specific options page" and remove the lines

<tr><TD BGCOLOR="#cccccc">
    <strong>Conceal yourself from subscriber list?</strong><p>
    When someone views the list membership, your email address is
    normally shown (in an obscured fashion to thwart spam
    harvesters).  If you do not want your email address to show up
    on this membership roster at all, select <em>Yes</em> for this option.
    </td><td bgcolor="#cccccc">
    <MM-Public-Subscription-Button>No<br>
    <MM-Hide-Subscription-Button>Yes
    </td></tr>

This will remove the setting from the options page, but it won't affect users who already have set it or setting via the email set command.

To disable the email set hide on/off command, you'd need to remove the 3 lines at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/...

To ignore it completely for the GUI roster, you would need to edit https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/... and just set list_hidden = True.

To ignore it completely for the email who command you could just insert full = True at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/...
