I think domains like libreofficecommunity.org are just as ugly.

I'd say it should be either libreoffice.org, or nothing. After all, it's 
nobody's obligation to offer email addresses to anyone, so why not just 
make up some rules (not necessarily formal) instead of being touchy?

Actually, I can't think of any other open-source project (except 
OpenOffice.org) that would offer email addresses to anyone, and I don't 
think it's necessary (as if we all didn't have a bunch of addresses 
already).
