Having an IETF identity is OK if all you ever publish is in the IETF. Some of our participants also publish at other SDOs such as IEEE, W3C, ITU, and quite a few publish Academic papers. Using the same identifier for all these places would be useful, and that single identifier is not going to be an @ietf.org email address.
