So the options in launchpad are:

"E-mail notifications for this team should go to:

 * Each member individually
 * Another e-mail address

If you set up a mailing list for this team, you can use the mailing
list as the team contact address."

We could set it up to email everyone who is part of the team updates
directly, but that takes discussion away from the mailing list (and
has the risk of people feeling it's too spammy if it goes directly to
them).

We could also set up a launchpad mailing list, but I think running two
mailing lists just so folks can contact us doubles the problem, it
doesn't improve it :) I'd rather work to fix our current list so that
it works for everyone.

Exactly. I figure the moderation team could report back the results of
the trial so we have statistics about just how overwhelming the spam
queue is and take it from there.

svaksha - is this something we can get set up, say for 2 months?

Pendulum, valorie and belkinsa are all admins on other mailing lists
and have volunteered to assist if you need it (and again, please don't
read this as an implication that the current team is in any way
incapable or doing a bad job, we all appreciate their work, it is
simply an offer of assistance during this trial period where the
workload may be a bit higher).

Thanks everyone.
