Open teams are teams where the admins have explicitly decided they do not want to vet or control the membership. Notifying admins in this case is arguably pointless: there is no action they can take on a join (other than making the team moderated or restricted), and likewise on leaves.
Some users may use membership changes as a proxy for interest in their project / mailing list, but I don't think this is the common case: these mails are fundamentally spam. |

Some users may use membership changes as a proxy for interest in their project / mailing list, but I don't think this is the common case: these mails are fundamentally spam. See for instance bug 285414 asking for an option to control these notifications, and bug 507515 asking for subscription facilities on team metadata. |
