858327 - Allow users with non-mozilla.com email addresses to be members of the staff group

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

There ought to be a way for employees who are registered with a non-mozilla.com email address to be able to be in the staff group.  Perhaps this could be done by having a second email address field (different from the one you registered with), which, if it is @mozilla.com, will put you in the staff group.

Cameron, thanks for suggesting this feature. Right now users with a non-{mozilla.com,mozilla.org,mozillafoundation.org} can be added to the staff group manually by an administrator like myself.

Manual requests can be made by filing bugs with this form:

Yes, I think your solution here works great! We are planning to support multiple email addresses starting this quarter (bug 699952).

+1 to William's reply.

I'll only add that the existence of a 2nd [e-mail] should not be sufficient evidence of staff status. The existence of the address and the ability of the account owner to access it must be verified somehow.

Now with the secondary emails this no longer valid.
