Forcing people to use new mail addresses will do very little
to make things fun for developers. For instance, it makes it
more difficult for us to configure mail software to recognize
mail that is addresses directly to us.

(I'm probably a bit extreme in this: if my mail filter doesn't
find my address in the relevant headers, and the mail isn't
coming from a mailing list I've subscribed to, it will be
dropped automatically. However, even Pine will need some
configuration to be able to mark personal mail correctly.)

Even debian.org addresses expire. It's better to fix it by uploading
new packages with updated addresses.
