Description
In order to properly inform plugin authors of the need to maintain access to their account's associated email address - I propose we include some additional text in the current email that is sent when a Plugin is approved.
The purpose of this text would be to:
- Inform the user this email address will be used for future correspondence, specifically regarding security vulnerabilities.
- Inform the user they will receive notifications of new WP releases in order to prepare their plugin. They do not need to reply to these emails, but if the address is found to bounce - their plugin could be removed.

Correction: we don't send to that specific email address. We send to the email address on the wordpress.org account. You can change your email address, and then we'll start sending to that new one.
So, you need to make sure your account's email address is valid and working at all times.

Addition: for plugins, it's important to us that it not be any email with any type of auto reply feature. It also should not be a shared email, like for support tickets or anything like that. Basically, the only people who should have committer access to a plugin are the actual developers that we can talk to about that plugin.
