If it is then it will completely screw everything up. In the context of what you wrote in the OP: "If an @ubuntu.com email address is present in a changelog, you'd have to change it."
To what, exactly? @redacted? I mean, seriously, this would screw up knowing who did what in the changelog which breaks the ability to trace changes back and contact the correct author(s) should any events arise where you would kind of have to know who did what or who to contact when things go wrong.
You might have snuck that in there as a half-baked joke or worst case scenario but seriously, that's a ridiculous thing to have to do. I don't clearly see how it would infringe trademark or copyright, either - I mean, my mind is bending trying to figure it out. Talk about repressive...
Why not just declare Canonical our next totalitarian state and get it over with. "I will just edit you out of existence"...yeah, right, right, right.
