Can someone refresh my memory on our policy for creating email aliases at osgeo.org? I'm thinking specifically about projects or project leads. Jeroen, for example, would like one for himself and/or for geonetwork@osgeo.org. Is this something we want to do?
It makes sense to me to have a project one that then gets forward to one or more addresses. Also makes sense to me to have project leads have an address, but defining that might be difficult for some projects and lead to precedent that is hard to keep hold of. Simplest seems to have one for each project, if desired.

Tyler,
I believe our approach was to create them on an adhoc basis (I presume
just as entries in /etc/aliases) but not to try and offer them for all
members or to promote the idea widely.
I think Jeroen or others wanting one should submit a ticket to SAC in Trac.
Best regards,
