We could, in theory, "invite" the list, and then I suppose we'd get
a confirmation email that 100 people would click on.  ;)

Could maybe just email the scan folks and ask.

I'm a little on the fence about immediately broadcasting all defects, though.
I doubt there should be security implications, but ...

I wish scan were better integrated with git, and then something like
"email the author of the commit that introduced a new defect" would
be pretty cool.
