Email addresses that die are a lot less useful than email addresses that never 
die. I understand the desire to not have people misrepresent their level of 
affiliation with Mozilla, but I don’t believe technology or policy can solve 
that problem.  Tying an address to “currently active” also means lots of 
headaches when dealing with contributors whose involvement is periodic, 
seasonal, or whatnot.

Was there consideration of a possible “once a mozillian, always a mozillian” 
attitude with respect to email addresses, modulo exceptions for egregious 
improper use?  I for one would not begrudge previously-active mozillians who 
might still want to use their mozilla.org address if they’re proud that they 
earned one once upon a time.
