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.
