then lets rein the discussion back in to talking about just emails. Adding on the constraint of emails also denoting the trusted group is going to delay emails going out even longer and I don't think we need to say that everyone who has a .org email address is trusted with company secrets. There's a difference between being a good Mozillian and doing good work to promote Mozilla and being in some sort of inner circle. The former does not require the latter.
Benjamin did suggest a yearly mechanism where you need to indicate you still wish to be part of the group who gets emails, so that is one suggestion that emails aren't for life. Another suggestion is that emails are for life unless you abuse them. I believe that had also been discussed a little bit before the trusted group took over the topic. mrz may already have some ideas for what is abuse of the email address. I also want to note, you have just used a synonym for mafia. "The Family" _means_ the mafia. "Family Responsibility" means nothing to me unless I know the relation between the words.
