Max is @redhat.com. (Disclosure: I am temporarily @redhat.com as well.) My sense is that the job is a full-time job, so unless fedora develops alternative revenue sources, it will always be @redhat.com or effectively @redhat.com- one couldn't do the job effectively as a volunteer.

My sense is that the job is a full-time job

More than full-time, I would say. :-)

When it comes time for someone else to do my job, I would hope that Red Hat's management will consider all variety of people for the job -- both current Red Hat folks and Fedora community folks -- and pick the best person.

If the best person already works for Red Hat, ok. If the best person doesn't, then Red Hat should make them an offer and hire them.

But by all means, look externally for the candidate. Just hire the person once he/she is identified! It's the only way to *guarantee* consistent leadership, handle all the budget stuff, legal stuff, etc.
