As membership has to be requested and approved in a formal way, I could 
imagine to include a passus in the formalism where community members 
declare not to act as representatives or spokespeople for the LibreOffice 
community or TDF unless they have been approved to do so.

Perhaps a mandatory signature like the following would be sufficient:

(First Name) Name
- LibreOffice community member -

In this case a mail address like nickn...@libreoffice.org might be sufficient 
IMHO.

And in case of possible abuse (or deliberate misinterpretation) the community 
membership can be revoked...

If usage of the @libreoffice.org mail address still looks too risky, I'd vote

nickn...@libreofficecommunity.org
(or nickn...@libreoffice-community.org)
