22 I suspect that shouldn't really be a problem for legacy forwarding?
23 As long as we don't create new "irregular" addresses...

38 Well... I don't really see the point of having people on the project alias who
39 are not listed on the project page. After all we want to simplify things and
40 not keep duplicate lists again.
41
42 (For just listening in on bugmail one can always "watch" an alias on
43 bugzilla.)
44
45 About devs vs. non-devs, well we need to simplify this to one central list-
46 keeping place. Given the momentary wording of GLEP39, we can't list non-devs
47 as project members on the wiki (which would be the authoritative source)- but
48 we can certainly introduce an additional category of persons who gets added to
49 the project alias the same way as devs / members (and listed on the project
50 page in a prominent place). That's what I meant with introducing
51 "contributors".
52
53 I have no strong opinion so far whether non-devs should be able to officially
54 become project members, but if we want that we need to fix GLEP39 somehow.
