+1 I first thought that maybe the Steering Committee and people in charge of l10n/marketing/website/etc should get one, so things could be more official. but... things would be more official, and it may discourage people to debate after a response from a @libreoffice.org mail? it's great to see the willingness to give @libreoffice.org addresses, but I don't see the advantages; apart from the excitement of having m...@libreoffice.org, of course. I may be wrong, and a @libreoffice.org reward is worth the effort? I'll keep reading this.
