You seem to think in the WMF providing those? Although the mediawiki.org domain has MX records, I don't think it's ever been used for e-mail reception, so we could use that domain for assigning each coder a mediawiki.org mailbox..

If in the future these people return, we can set up a .mailmap file to map these placeholder email addresses to their new ones. Setting up a mail forwarding system seems like a pretty enormous and irrelevant yak to be shaving in order to improve the version control system :). Conrad
