Thanks for the offer. However, I have a question concerning the
selection criteria.

How does this offer reconcile with this announcement from Mike McGrath on
eliminating those very same email addresses?

See https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-April/msg00004....

I actually prefer not having such an email address, as I use Gmail for all my
correspondence.

Everybody who is signed up in the Fedora Account system as a contributor 
has a alias regardless of whether you are using it.  Since it is just a 
alias you can continue using your gmail id.

Mike Mcgrath's post was not about eliminating all aliases just the ones 
in the firstname.lastname format. You would instead now be using the 
accountname(a)fedoraproject.org format.

Hope that helps.

Thanks - I wasn't aware that it was automatically assigned.

Once again, it's a nice benefit and much appreciated.
