Since we generally control the underlying service we can simply change the service (or the wiki or website if these are human-generated enails) to send notifications to one of our existing lists. We are doing that, for example with the BZ notifications. yourname@openoffice.org -- I don't think providing free lifetime personal email forwarding services to non project members is part of the core mission for this project or ASF. A Gmail account is free for the asking. And if someone really wants a project-related vanity address, then apache.org is available to all committers. But I do not accept any obligation for this project to fix a situation caused by bad choices and decisions by those in the past. -Rob
