Will you be adversely affected if Launchpad stops mailing on 'open' team membership changes?

[Chuck Frain]

In my time as leader of a loco team I found the emails useful so that I
could track the churn of the group. I could see how many people were
joining and leaving, particularly surrounding events we were holding. 

If you want to make a change to this, I strongly suggest that you make
it a checkbox option for the configuration of the group.

As others have already replied, the mails are low volume for the most
part and in my case easily filterable by my email client.
