I am not comfortable with the idea that there would be a screening process
within the Reps program to get the address. Reps are already screened for
leadership and commitment.

"Any Mozilla Rep can request a @mozilla.org and each request must go
through a rigorous vouching process overseen by the Mozilla Reps Council,
based on the following criteria." - There is no criteria following this
statement, the criteria are listed in the etherpad linked further down
https://remo.etherpad.mozilla.org/email-attribution-criteria

I would personally like to see more meat in the section of why give people
email addresses. If it's just to give volunteers more credibility then
either we should give it to all volunteers, or we should determine which
volunteers will benefit from that increased credibility and especially how
Mozilla as an organization would benefit from giving volunteers more
credibility and what we would want volunteers to do with that credibility.
