(NOTE!! speaking for myself, not for other Red Hatters)

The solution I've settled upon is jgarzik@...hat.com for sign-offs, and 
my usual addresses (jeff@...zik, jgarzik@...ox) for all email 
communication and patch posting.

That makes it clear who is really signing off on the patches, while 
still ensuring that if I get fired or leave Red Hat, the flow of 
communication can be largely uninterrupted.

For those who don't know, to prevent sensitive information leaks, it is 
standard corporate policy for many companies these days to immediately 
yank an email address the minute an employee's status changes.

	Jeff
