Not if the new address only accepts mail from other fedoraproject.org addresses.

What I'm getting from this thread is that there needs to be a
dedicated way for people inside the project to talk to other people
inside the project...privately.

Surely there is a technical solution to this problem involving a mail
server, aliases and some gpg signature checking. Maintainers do have
gpg keys on file right?  So any mail going to a fedoraproject.org
alias has its signature checked to see if the mail is really from a
registered contributor in the accounts system. That should prevent
spam to such an alias to a very great extent. Of course... just
cutting off an out-of-touch maintainers cvs access would be my
personal choice..but I'm evil.
