Description

This repo enables a path for Node.js community members to engage with individuals in the project privately.

I think we need to asses the possibility of a privacy policy around inbound emails that AREN'T for member <> member discussions. This would likely need to include something around confidentiality of private info (like name, email address, etc.) and ensuring that the usage of any inbound emails is not used for anything outside of work in the Node.js project.

Here's a list of email aliases that are relatively obviously for inbound emails:

  • report@
  • security@
  • admin@
  • accounts@
  • moderation@
  • user-feedback@
