#asfinfra IRC Bot commented on INFRA-3867:
------------------------------------------

<danielsh> How about: add altEmail attribute to LDAP, then cron generate MailAlias.txt from LDAP, while adding a member={yes,no} column to it ?

> At present, committers and members have several places where e-mail addresses need to be maintained.
> - Selfserve - email forwarding
> - MailAlias.txt - e-mail aliases
> - members.txt - e-mail aliases
> It is tedious keeping these in step, and can be hard for mail moderators to access the aliases (see separate Jira for moderation enhancement)
> The suggestion is:
> - add field for e-mail alias to LDAP. The source for this is MailAlias.txt, which is committer-private. LDAP could be read-only for all but the owner. Perhaps allow updates by PMC chairs?
> - might as well add the home URL from urls.txt. This is public, as it is published on people.apache.org
> LATER
> - add missing entries from members.txt if/when that is converted to LDAP
