The opensuse.org address is forwarded anyway, so people would only lose
an alias.  I think the email address goes with active membership (if we
decide that is a condition), and is lost when one leaves the project. 

It might be helpful to activate an auto-responder for former
members:  "this address is no longer active, please contact
somebody@xxxxxxxxxxx". Not sure if this causes a privacy issue though.
