Christian's suggestion of a Google Group list was good enough for me. For now, the permission settings are as follows:

 - Group visibility: Anyone. (So it can be easier to discover and
   advertise.)
 - View topics: Group members only. (Maybe we want to open this up so
   it's easier for non-member Git contributors to take a look at what's
   going on.... but maybe if they're interested they can just join the
   group :) )
 - Post: Group members only. (My thinking is that once you're asking for
   someone's time and effort to help mentor you, you can volunteer the
   time and effort needed to push the join button and optionally filter
   your inbox ;) )
 - Join group: Anyone. (Let's make the barrier to entry low.)
