Assuming we use the definition of Mozillian as someone who: * believes in the mission * does something to actively advance it * interacts with the Mozilla community then I think that would be a large mistake. Having an email address @projectname.org implies, in the open source world, that you have a trusted position inside that organization. @debian.org is for Debian developers. @apache.org is for Apache committers. And so on. Giving an @mozilla.org email address to all Mozillians (by the above definition) would make it a pretty easy thing to get - which would both devalue it, and also come with some reputational risk to Mozilla.
