I did indeed do that (the site contact username is me).

But for official site posts ([example](https://se23.life/t/groups-on-se23-life/2620)), we change ownership to “system” to make it clear that they represent the site and are not personally related to any one admin/moderator.

It would be great to continue to do so, and to have any PMs sent to “system” turn into group PMs to the moderators
