Replying somewhere randomly with an idea. Since projects are now on the wiki, why don't we use that as the canonical source of project members? It's machine readable, although not so nice to have it located outside the repo/ldap.
The email alias would then be auto-generated from the project members. This has a nice side effect: regular users can already modify their own accounts on the wiki. It should be possible to give users the ability to "follow" a project. The alias generation would then include all "following" users. This satisfies the GNOME team's workflow, and doesn't require developers to commit email addresses to some file. One downside is that it doesn't let users follow a single package, and if we do allow that, then we'll probably wind up with two ways to do the same thing.
