I was thinking we would create a new list for each of these groups.
These lists would be private (because they could contain private bugs
assigned to the group). Then we could also filter on bugzilla password
changes to catch those in moderation, or just let them through to the
list since the list is private and only has on it trusted folks in the
group. 

We could ask for pseudo users as well, but I've never done so, so not
sure how long that takes, etc.
