So, this exceptionalism for "friends for Rob" is being offered, without 
consideration at all for those friends of OpenOffice.org who have relied on 
those e-mail forwardings and proudly organized their e-mail existence around 
that affiliation.  This smells a bit like mit.alumni.edu (or whatever the 
domain is) dropping all of those graduates who fail to sustain some sort of 
annual gift level.  

Why can't the focus be on achieving the best possible result for all of those 
folks?

That is just an example. We also know the addresses of who has edited
the wiki, and is posting to the mailing lists, for example.  But if
you think you are active without interacting with the project at all,
then I would beg to disagree.
