Maintainers must be reachable by email

[Michael Schwendt]

Here's something that has come up a few times already:

A fellow Fedora Extras contributor sends a private mail, probably to be
treated confidentially, to another contributor. But the mail is rejected
automatically due to rigorous or misconfigured SPAM filtering, IP
blacklists or SPF problems. The sender tries again from another account,
e.g. GMail, and once more, the mail is rejected in the same way. This is a 
frustrating experience for the sender. More frustrating than not getting
a reply because perhaps a message is discarded silently. ;)

There ought to be means of making sure any contributor can be reached by
e-mail, in particular by the account sponsor. As a last resort, a second
alternative e-mail address should be available in a place where it could
be looked up by fellow contributors.

Before taking this up to FESCO levels, I just want to raise awareness of
this problem.
