Hi. Here's a suggestion: make everyone have a single email
user@debian.org but let them use any user-whatever@debian.org
they want. That is, compare things after the "@" to end of string
and from beginning to first "/-+".
That way one can use user-packages/foo@debian.org, or
user-foo@debian.org, or user@debian.org, etc. And the DB would
have to store only user@debian.org.
