I'm having difficulty reconciling the openoffice.org email forwarding
service with how Apache projects work.

Having such an address appears to suggest that the person is
representing the project,or at the very least is a member of the
project.  But we speak as individuals, both in the project and
externally.  If we're suggesting that we represent the project, then
that is incorrect.  There are exceptions, as outlined in the "multiple
hats" description [1] , where a PMC Chair or other Apache officers
might need to speak authoritatively on policy matters.  But that is
not the typical case.

And remember, committers are given email forwards via an a.o email
address.  So there is no functional requirement that I can see for an
OOo address, other than the conventional postmaster and admin
addresses.

+1 I agree. If the same service can be delivered with a.o-email, why hang on to OOo-email.
       That might complicate matters unnessisarily
