As 80 or 90 % of all email does. Mailing lists aren't private anyway, so that doesn't really matter. I only use this gmail account for mailing list and only with a traditional MUA. I don't see any ads or give them anything that isn't already public. gmail appears to give FreeBSD lists some special handling because the lists modify the body and always break DMARC. On other lists you can lose posts that are sent from domains with a reject policy. An alternative is to read lists with an NNTP news reader on news.gmane.io.
