[messaging] RFC: Proposal for alternative primary identifiers in mobile messaging (specifically Signal)

(Just found this in my drafts folder, having intended to send a week ago.
Oops.)

I wrote a proposal for alternative identifiers (as opposed to the common
practice of using phone numbers) that has better properties, and I would
like to share it here for review and comment. My broad intention is to
implement this, assuming I am able to get in contact with OWS and get an OK
from them first.

I've written it up on the signal forums here:
https://community.signalusers.org/t/a-proposal-for-alternative-primary-identifiers

Cheers!
