I can understand why people do it, but a real e-mail address is preferred. The point of an e-mail address in a ChangeLog entry is so that people can send you e-mail, but we make no promises that we will accept e-mail to @gcc.gnu.org addresses from outside gcc.gnu.org itself. I wouldn't switch to @sourceware.org either. Sorry. Ian
