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.
