This was the easiest&nicest solution due to security gnome org.

security gnome org should automatically go to all release-team subscribers

To avoid any differences in receivers of security@ and release-team@,
the security@ has been setup to automatically send it to everyone
subscribed in release-team@.

As security@ could be rather critical (in practice 99%+ of all emails are
spam), I preferred keeping this distinction.

Another benefit is that we can easily get rid of the lurkers list, and
make clear that there is a difference between being a release-team
member and following the release-team emails.

Further, we cannot change release-team to private. People are allowed to
email release-team and raise issues. We just don't want anyone other
than release-team to respond.

Maybe I should've stressed the last bit more...
