It's pretty common in large corporations to have 'affinity groups', which discuss topics that affect the group.
I don't work at Google; I work at Amazon. I can only speak about my experience, but it's likely the same at Google.
You don't have to be a part of an affinity group to be a member of the mailing list (that's where the ..and Allies portion comes into play).
The 'Google Brain Women and Allies' mailing list is probably full of women from the Google Brain team, non-binary and men from in from the Google Brain team, and others who aren't on the Google Brain team but are interested in its work.
Again, I don't know. But this is educated conjecture based on my experience at another FAANG.
