Why do we need to make this 100% accurate in the first place? Everyone
who got access to a debian.org email address has been an OSS contributor
of sorts. Which leaves those who opted out of the email address entirely
(rather than not using it) - but they are free to reactivate it. It
feels like just checking for @debian.org is good enough, IMO.
