The address will invariably be picked up by spam bots and a new
address each year (which is easy to do as it's a fresh start while
we work per-event) means less spam from the past.
The old alias would be ignored or at best infrequently checked. So
to be clear, I am suggesting to use e.g. sponsors@debconf16.dc.org
or sponsors-dc16@dc.org, or maybe a fake person, e.g. ashley@dc.org
or whatever. It doesn't matter if you answer e-mails to this
address, but it does give people contacting us the feeling that
they're addressing a person, which is beneficial.
