Working on email package under Barry mentorship looks like a good idea and a first step to promoting Mark and Abhilash. Also, we can give them bug triaging privilegy to help with managing existing 150+ email related bug reports right now, it doesn't hurt.
After some mentorship period, we can consider promoting them to Core Devs again. Mentorship is always a very important and required part for our workflow, regardless of tech expertise. We always are striving to get PR review (except very trivial changes maybe). Personally, the ability to press the green "merge" button doesn't change too much in my work (but requires more responsibility, sure).

They have done a great job on making sure Mailman works for us and know from real world experience what the issues are you face nowadays with email (such as having to deal with the wonderful technology called DMARC...).

I think these two make sense as email module maintainers from a demonstrated domain expertise point of view.
But you'll probably have an easier time convincing others who want to see some PRs first if you just go ahead and have them do some work on the email module in the form of PRs to start with. ie: Don't let being dubbed core developers or not yet block you from starting to mentor them on initial email module maintenance.
Right, that sounds like the best course of action. Barry, if you trust Mark's and Abhilash's competence, it should probably be easy for you to merge their first PRs (and guide them along the way).
