Thanks Adrian for reporting.

David left mozilla last month, the recipient for the Other category should be changed, here is where it is defined in the source code:
https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/master/bedrock/mozorg/email_contribute.py#L75

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

We definitely need to fix Bedrock, but I think we also need to update the email address on Exact Target (or whatever the system used by en-US is).

Comment 3

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Agreed Pascal. Do we have a new email yet? I'm happy to mentor this one.

Comment 4

[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

I'll get the new email address.  It might take a couple of days.
