Hello,

The ReleaseEngineering team has a team private list (which also include
our liaisons in other teams) and a restricted IRC channel.

The list is mostly used for:
*  project check points and internal bikeshedding before we reach out
publicly.
* random remember emails (time to fill in your quaterly goals folks!)
* some access rights discussions

The IRC channel is for personal matters, tongue in cheek and sometime
serious discussions about political/drama issues (rare).

Overall, that is really a very thin percentage of our interactions. Most
everything is on Phabricator public tasks / wikitech-l / QA list.
