I do not think that is a good idea. You cannot force people to use XX =
addresses.
Sometimes you work for a company and then you are (forced?) to leave. =
You
can easily forget to update some MAINTAINER address. Yes it's a pity to =
have
bouncing emails and people where possible should update the maintainer =
address
when it changes..=20

In addition I think it will scare away possible maintainers because they =
cannot use their
normal address, or preferred address...

We could however document the fact that in case you email address =
changes you are
encouraged to update your email address as well. Yes it should be common =
but well
it doesn't hurt either.

Cheers
