Email address to reach all gerrit admins

Hello,

I have since retired from development so this does not affect me much, if any, nowadays. But in the past, each time I was in need to request something to the gerrit administrators (mostly settings, or when clerking on MediaWiki +2 granting/removal Tasks) there was no easy way to reach the Gerrit administrators as a group; so I had to send some emails here and there until someone replied; which made me feel rather bad as I felt I was always putting the burden on the same couple of people that were responsive.

Given that now -and since some time- Gerrit adminship is managed through an LDAP group, I was wondering if we could create an email alias (EXIM? Wikimedia Google group?) such as "gerritadmin[at]wikimedia[dot]org" and subscribe all Gerrit Administrators there (except the bot I guess) so in case anyone needs an admin there's an easy way to reach 'em all through a single email to a single place.

I think that a gerritadmin[at]wikimedia[dot]org address exist or existed per phab:T54150 and got deleted per phab:T220843. If I remember rightly, I discussed the idea briefly with Hashar or Tyler a while ago in the RelEng channel. I can't remember. The later task also mentions a gerrit-admin[at]... address too.

Thanks.
