    I'll support option 3 as being the least bad (but far from good).
Having two separate mailing lists with the same goal adds confusion in
an area that already has too much, and sending direct mail to all
core-devs tends to annoy those we count on most to ensure that we can
continue to use our computers.  Working around launchpad
implementation details is minor in comparison.
