The main reason to have such a mailing list would be so that people who don't want to use Twitter or RSS, and/or who want to receive *only* critical updates via email can have a way to do so. Some people might be opposed to Twitter as a platform. Probably fewer would object to RSS, but it might be inconvenient for them for one reason or another. Both Twitter and RSS include many non-critical updates. I don't know how much demand there is for the ability to receive only critical updates via email. If there's high demand, we should do it. If there's little or no demand, then it might not be worthwhile to saddle ourselves with the additional overhead. The problem is that we don't have any data on which to base the decision.
