It depends, on the other hand, it makes it clear that can be CCed only
an account that explicitly took part in the game (although that could
be fun too to poke people to join "hey, this one's for you! you're
welcome!").

For Web team, I did exactly that:
 - registered an account for mageia-webteam at mageia.org (don't remember
if I disabled it afterwise so that no one can actually use it.
 - white-listed bugzilla-daemon at mageia.org to the webteam ml; and I
just did that for artwork list.

On a side note, that would be nice to have a better sender identity
("Mageia Bugzilla" <bugzilla at mageia.org> for instance or "Mageia Bugs"
<bugs at mageia.org>).
