Specifically, it seems to be *broken* for our Release Team that needs
to communicate in an efficient way with PTLs and Release CPLs.

I understand the purpose of these business-only lists would also allow
for mascots to be sent to that, but I liked the ability to participate
in the discussions of other mascots. Granted, I didn't do it, but I
was also happy to read their conversations.

I don't think there's enough "noise" traffic to justify individual
lists. Would it perhaps be better to have a mailing list that the
release team can use to reach PTLs and Release CPLs with
notifications? Would that satisfy it? At that point, it would be up to
each PTL to subscribe, etc., but it also prevents the Release team
from having to generate N emails where N is the number of
"business-only" lists.
