Currently @mozilla.org aliases and accounts are for original @mozilla.org

that practice stopped AFAIK otherwise they are assigned anymore.
I had not intended to push mozilla.org over mozilla.com, I guess I
mostly deal with mozilla.org people so I thought that was the practice.
OK then, the question is the same, but use mozilla.com or mozilla.org
As for alias, Mozilla already owns thunderbird.net which in theory could
be used for this. But that does not really accomplish either of the main
goals, which is:
1) The address, if seen by the public, would be recognized as
legitimately belonging to Mozilla, and therefore probably to be trusted.
After all, people are being asked to give permission to access their
email to something, and there should be a degree of brand trust
associated with that. (I routinely use web addresses or email addresses
as a test of spam and phishiness, "thunderbird.net" has zero recognition)
2) When I am hit by the proverbial truck, there should be some way for
Mozilla to regain control of an account that is connected with an
important product like Thunderbird without having to negotiate with
Google or my heirs for the rights to access their product keys.
