You can go ahead and join groups with this method and still not receive emails. We only email people individually if there is no mailing list associated with the group. People can join the group but not the mailing list and shouldn't see the emails.
Now, if you are on the target reviewer list or you ever review the review request, you will be directly on the CC list. This we can make optional in a future version.
