> INFRA-7390 introduced e-mail aliases of the form
> availid-suffix@apache.org
> Now there are already some availids which contain a hyphen "-".
> Currently the list is:
> an-selm
> james-masanz
> jean-louis
> rgb-es
> soc-xzw
> swaroop-aj
> To avoid ambiguity, this means that the following ids should not be issued
> an
> james
> jean
> rgb
> soc
> swaroop
> AFAICT, these ids have not yet been allocated.
> But if any such ids were issued, there would be opportunities for mails to be unexpectedly misdirected.
> I don't know how potential availids are screened for suitability.
> If there is an automated check, it should be trivial to add the first part of existing ids to the list of exclusions.
> Note that the suffix can contain hyphens, so an availid of the form "a-b-c" should disallow "a-b" as well as "a", etc. for additional hyphens
