I know that people generally prefer to get as little email as possible, but I prefer to push teams together when practical instead of building islands.

Beyond that, moderating a mailing list is a nontrivial amount of effort and involves getting a lot of email, so I’m not sure that they’d actually end up with less net emails ;-)
