For libs team and libs-api team membership, the person if accepted would get added to that same private Zulip with (I'm assuming; not actually sure) access to read all previous discussions. For libs-contributors there is a good chance they'd later become team members. That's not great for candidly raising concerns in the Zulip channel which don't necessarily disqualify a person from ever being accepted.

If we mostly intend to rubber stamp everyone that's gotten to this stage, this change is fine, but otherwise I think this isn't a great dynamic compared to the mailing list.

There are good things about Zulip compared to email, like ✨🙃reactions🎊💥✌️, so maybe a group private message with the list of members copied from the t-libs/private subscribers list would be a good way to still get those?

When adding someone to that Zulip stream, they don't see any history from before they joined it.
