The (soon to be former) LEDE developers don't want @openwrt.org addresses, so providing a way to not break the existing addresses and not giving out new ones

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The thread title states 'proposal', and as far as I understand it, it's a 'package deal' that still has to be voted on.

There is 'some are more equal than others' and there is not breaking existing
communications channels.

The aftermath of the split showed there's good reason for disabling them altogether: people using their @openwrt e-mail addresses to claim legitimacy and authority while being barely visible in the day-to-day dealings of the project.

You can never eliminate @openwrt.org addresses from all the documentation on the Internet, or from everyone's address books, so it makes sense to have the
existing addresses keep working.

Indeed you cannot, but you could obsolete existing addresses perfectly fine, and just have them forward e-mail to one general contact address.
