At the moment the @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.ge= ntoo.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&quo= t; 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.

ab= out different types of developers/staff again: Forums
moderators/admins = have @ gentoo.org email addresses and aren't rea= lly
affected by that subdomain. Also the term staff is already taken by<= br>forums staff and infra/devrel staff (if there are folks that aren't
full developers among them), so adding = staff.gentoo.org for the AT and
similar ones may be even more confus= ing.
Imo ht.gentoo.org would sound = quite useful, but may be not generic
enough (was a mentioned as requirement somewhere
iirc). @assist.gentoo.org sounds ok, personally i thi= nk aide@g.o
sounds nice.
