We specifically reduced the subscriber count on the release team list for
2.1.x, it's now just the eight people in the release team. More often than
not, it's not very interesting stuff. Regrets for meetings, Cc'ed mail to
maintainers asking for packages, proto-minutes before they're published in
public, the install-module mails (which *are* useful, and will be turned
into a separate list), etc.

Somewhat like the "don't add a preference, fix the behaviour" argument, what
communication issues do we need to fix? :-)
