The reason we have a split like that is for timing and chattiness. If you're a 
downstream like Intel has with ICX, you might want to be in `clang-vendors` so 
that you are involved in conversations about potentially breaking changes. 
You'll be getting emails for all review comments on that review. But if you're 
a downstream like a Gentoo package maintainer, you might not want to be *that* 
involved in the development of the compiler, but still want to know when 
changes are coming down the pipeline to do early pre-release testing while 
there's still time to put the brakes on before a release goes out.
