They may end up doing as much or more work then some of the existing committers, and it should be as easy as possible for them to make their contributions. The easier it is for them to make contributions to Cocoon the better the chance that some real progress will be made. No real opinion on the e-mail address, the prefix seems somewhat reasonable, but maybe you'll want to keep some of these people as committers even after the GSOC contribution period is done? It might be nice if they didn't have their e-mail address change if this happens... -- Peter Hunsberger
