Do we care that much? I agree it should probably be something permanent,
and so that could rule out employment based addresses, but it doesn't
strike me as a big deal.

I have a mild preference of alvherre(a)alvh.no-ip.org over
@postgresql.org. If other committers are going to use personal
addresses, I'll use mine as well.

I'd prefer username(a)postgresql.org since:

- It's permanent as already pointed out

- It'd make clear that "username" is working as one of PostgreSQL
project members

Personal email addesses such as magnus(a)hagander.net would be ok as
long as he is sure that he will continue to pay charges for his
domain:-)

Are you are aware that we already have a list of "approved" addresses
for the committers?

Are you referring to the mapping list for the git mirror, or something else?
