When they leave RedHat they presumably will no longer have @redhat.com
addresses, so at least that has to be taken care of. RedHat presumably has
an exit process and it would be nice if this recurring issue was somehow
handled by it.
It's clear, that the problem is in people not updating their email address.
Especially when they use employee email and leaving the company, they
should change their FAS/bugzilla address to something more permanent.
I see the problem in people maintaining packages solely because
Red Hat employs them. It decreases Fedora's sustainability as
an independent project.
