Perhaps only those who don't personally know one or more of the operators
or who operate a middleman themselves.

Simply knowing and trusting an operator is not sufficient to guarantee trust
of the remailer or its operator. There is also the caveat that if you know
the operator then that is another avenue to discover your identity.
The most trustworthy remailers are ones that only accept pre-encrypted data
packets for which they don't have keys. They may copy your data or not
deliver it but your data won't be compromised.
