I view this in the opposite direction, where do we start?  *For me*
the credibility of a spokeperson also comes from using the softwares
s/he talks about.

I cited Evolution as it is the program to send emails (and more)
developed in the GNOME project; and this shows in email headers.
Just like I wouldn't like us to send press releases in Microsoft
Word format.
