BTW, I think that we want to encourage people to use the aliases @ietf.org
for authors for three reasons:

1) I think that it will indirect through DT database, so if an author changes
   their email, it should follow them?

2) we can include WG chairs, WG lists, or BIS authors, or other people, particularly
   we can also keep people from spamming authors if necessary.
   (particularly authors who have moved on)

3) we can archive things if that makes sense, or even bring request trackers
   into the loop if it seems appropriate in the future.
