This refers to
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list/2015-May/msg00000.html

You did post to a public mailing list (just like now). It is expected to
have such mails published publicly.

And this most likely refers to the last mesage on the gimpusers forum:
http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/17210-jsb-designs-sponsorship-request#message80104

gimpusers.* is a third-party site, and not connected to the GIMP developers.

Someone there decided to user a user name that appears to give them an
official standing within the GIMP community:

http://www.gimpusers.com/users/GimpAdmin

We've got no idea who this is (a "Jeff" is unknown to us) - and stuff
like this is one of the reasons why that forum <-> mail bridge is put on
moderation.

We can't remove it from gimpusers, you have to contact the maintainers
of this site: https://www.bitfire.at/ , via the gimpusers.* footer

You are lucky in a way, due to the forum<->mail moderation this message
didn't make actual gimp-user mailing list and thus didn't make it the
numerous archies of said list, either. One there, it would be impossible
to remove from the web.
