did you ask the community how many of them think it's necessary to give 
out emails to each and everyone? What was the response? Actually, Sophie 
has forwarded one of your messages about this to the L10n mailing list, 
and I wouldn't say the response was very enthusiastic. There was a total 
of 4 replies, three of which (incl. mine) suggested that automatically 
providing email addresses to contributors is unnecessary.

So, if there is a consensus that this should be handled on case-by-case 
basis, then I wonder how problematic it would be to just keep 
@libreoffice.org lists as they are, while at the same time providing 
@libreoffice.org emails for some community members. In other words: why 
do you want a separate mail server first of all?

On the other hand, even if separate servers is the only option, why not 
just set up the appropriate forwarders for mailing lists? The lists 
themselves could then be managed by e.g. lists.libreoffice.org, but they 
would still have proper @openoffice.org addresses.

And if I can't convince you about this either, then I'm with Fabian: the 
lists should be hosted on lists.libreoffice.org. "Global" just doesn't 
make sense.
