Actually "staff" gives the ideal ambiguity that is needed for these
placements. The need to seperate developers from staff who have seperate
jobs to do is an acute one.
At the moment the @gentoo.org <http://gentoo.org> address is seen as a
developer one but as you mentioned the word "staff" is already used to
describe forums staff and devrel, some of which dont develop for Gentoo. A
solution for that could be to give all developers a
@dev.gentoo.org<http://dev.gentoo.org>address but seeing as developers
are by far the biggest group with that
address it would be silly to. A better way to have it is to call
non-developers "staff" and give them a @staff.g.o address.
This addressing would also be useful for the future when people are used by
Gentoo in other areas like specifically for management, PR or even sales;
basically any volunteer who adds to Gentoo in a non-developmental role.
