Wouldn't a @mozillians.org email alias available to every Registered Mozillian
be able to solve these three problems? Employees, Reps, and other types of
contributors could all register for one.
What problem do you have that is not solved by @mozillians.org?

===== recap of Axel and dbaron's earlier comments =====
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.

I like the idea of revisiting what a @mozilla.org email address means today,
and I think that outstanding longtime leadership is probably best matching
what it is today, and what it could mean if we handed out new ones.
I'd not waive that requirements for paid contributors, though. I'd also
wouldn't restrict it to reps for non-paid contributors.
Technically, I'd ask for a revocation policy to be included. And we'd
probably need at least best-practices on what usernames to use. The current
list is very much nick-names, is that good? Do we need to care?
Axel makes several points here that I think are worth paying attention to:
1. Suggests that @mozilla.org email address means "outstanding longtime
leadership",
(which matches fairly well to its historic usage and distinguishes itself
from
@mozillians.org).
2. Employees do not automatically get one: must fulfill same criteria as
volunteers.
3. Candidates not restricted to employees+Reps: open to all contributors.

I'm pretty uncomfortable with the idea of starting with only
employees and reps; I'd like to be able to include non-employee
contributors in areas other than the areas covered by the reps
program (regional events and marketing, as I understand it), and I'm
concerned that temporary things tend to become permanent.
dbaron makes a couple points here:
1. Including employees and reps but not other contributors is Not Okay.
2. "Temporary things tend to become permanent"
Corollary: we cannot restrict the recipients of @mozilla.org address
later, so whatever policy we decide on now needs to be a subset of
whatever policy we will want to have 10 or 50 years from now.
In slightly different terms: you can't pilot with all Reps or all
employees if one idea under consideration is assigning it to a
subset of that category.
