I would be a bit sorry to see yet another team created.  But this
probably is the most practical at present way to make sure one opt in
group gets all the review mail and nobody else should.

I filed <https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/788819> asking for
a better way to do this.  It is good to see some progress towards
Launchpad mail management.
