The datatracker is the best thing we currently have.
The model there is that the person responsible for the addresses tells
the datatracker about the addresses, rather than a 3rd party keeping the
current address _for_ them.
The work we are doing on refreshing the RPC tooling will include using
the datatracker address(es) marked active for contacts like the one you
point to below.

We could probably go back to something like the old NIC handle, create a registry that can be updated and include that handle as a reference in documents/etc.

Is there anywhere, RFC Editor possibly, that tracks changes of e-mail addresses for contributors?
I just posted a response to an Erratum and got a number of bounces, one of which was a change of address, change of affiliation, for an AD; this is something which could equally apply to any author.
I have also seen WG Chairs struggle to contact RFC authors in relationship to IPR issues or with respect to updating an elderly RFC, likewise IANA with regard to registrations..
It would seem to me that it matters, sometimes more than others, that we can still contact people who have contributed in the past.
