All,
As you know "firstname.lastname@fedoraproject.org" email alias is no longer used as of last week[1] per Fedora Infrastructure Team. Only "accountname@fedoraproject.org" email alias[2] should be used from now on.
I understand some of us are still using "firstname.lastname" for your important contacts and *really* need to continue using this convention.
Thank to Mike McGrath, Fedora Ambassadors Team received a special permission to make rare exceptions to *only* existing and active Ambassadors with *good* reason.
Here are some rules for such exceptions:
1) The additional alias for the Ambassadors must be firstname.lastname@fp.o convention if it's absolutely necessary.
2) Exceptions are made by Thomas Chung for the Ambassadors only. He has the final decision as to whether someone is eligible for the alias .
3) Careful precautions must be made to not cause collisions. (This would include looking out for suspicious aliases like senior.admin@fedoraproject.org
4) In addition, you must provide a very good reason why you must have firstnname.lastname email alias.
Once again, we encourage you to use "accountname@fedoraproject.org" as your default email alias but if you must have "firstname.lastname" alias, please submit your request to me in private with following format.
