As a reference point, today there are 1241 subscriptions to

to all WG adoption calls and all WG last calls, but I imagine it would
be much less.
We need to be careful about evaluating the value of wider notifications
of these things. To my mind, it's not the number of subscribers that
matters, so much as the number of external reviews that result from
wider notifications.
I would regard a few dozen additional external reviews per year as a
tremendous improvement, especially if a significant number of those
external reviews identified bugs or deficiencies.

(And I do lean in favor of datatracker mods more than additional mailing
lists. Though I also like the idea of making the raw data available in
some form so that individuals can invent their own tools. We shouldn't
rely on the tools team to design everything we need, that's much better
done as a distributed process. Then the tools team can hopefully
incorporate the best of what individual participants come up with.)
