We also discussed a bit on how to handle "former members", so lemme just throw one proposition: - former members are listed as former members somewhere (wiki?), - former members _do_ keep their @opensuse.org email address
The latter point is a bit debatable: - they are not actively contributing to the project any more, so do they still have the right to speak for the project ? (which is what people are perceived to do when they have an @opensuse.org email address) - OTOH, killing an email address is a massive pain for everyone: needs telling everyone "oh I have a new email address", etc...
I believe the pain (the latter point) is worse and would hence propose that the email addresses are kept forever (unless banned, of course, that's a completely different scenario).
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 It might be helpful to activate an auto-responder for former members: "this address is no longer active, please contact somebody@example.com". Not sure if this causes a privacy issue though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
