Hi Benjamin,
I think it's a wonderful idea to give Reps and other contributors email
addresses. Can I suggest mozillians.org instead of mozilla.org, though?
mozilla.org is not sufficiently distinguishable from mozilla.com to avoid
confusing paid staff from not, and Mozillian has the benefit of sounding like a
person-descriptor.
I should also point out that in the future, it may become very important to be
able to distinguish official email from Mozilla as a project, versus someone
who is affiliated with Mozilla (as paid staff or not). Anti-phishing standards
such as DMARC are much easier to adopt when an organization can separate mail
by function into different domains. Widening the mozilla.{org,com} namespace
makes this problem worse.
Thanks,
Monica
