So a single email is not a mailing list and it's a research group, so not really a corporate entity. I don't see WHY explicitly this isn't allowed. I understand that this decision has been made with a lot of thought in mind, though. This would make it much easier for research groups to not orphan packages because the maintainer/student leaves and we can't really centralize our code bases.
