The official list from docs/README.developers is:

     address@hidden
     address@hidden
     address@hidden
     address@hidden
     address@hidden

The problem is ... if I include all of these in the To: line I can tell
you from experience that you get a LOT of replies to all of those lists.
Which doesn't make people happy.  Reply-to isn't good enough either;
people still send to all of them.  And I suspect the moderator(s) for
those lists might be busy; the announcement hasn't shown up yet on a lot
of them.  I guess I could write some tooling that sends the announcement
to each of those lists individually, nmh, after all, is supposed to be
scriptable!  I'm open to suggestions here.
