There are a few: 1) Contributors currently lack a project wide authentic address that they can use when engaging externally (events, conferences or event downstream open source projects) 2) Staff when they leave MoCo lose their @mozilla.com addresses so by offering @mozilla.org to both paid and unpaid contributors this would fix that gap. 3) We are probably the only open source project of our size that does not give out project email addresses to add authenticity/project identity to our communications
Also technically some paid contributors have received @mozilla.org email addresses even in recent history and further back but the policy on who has them and keeps them is inconsistent. As an example Brendan still has and uses his but there are former staff who had one and arbitrarily were stripped of theirs immediately after they left MoCo. Where are Axel and Dbaron's thoughts? I do not see them in this thread although there has been a few of these discussions just in the last three years.
