PLEASE READ the post-approval guidelines found at
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/news-answers/postapproval-guidelines
You don't need to wait for approval to change your email address,
provided it is simply a new address for the same person. I pointed this
out here earlier this month.

I for one think this would be an excellent idea. I think it's
reasonable that once approved, a maintainer should be able to, um,
*maintain* an faq without waiting in the initial approval line. Or the
spam line ...
Especially since this submission address could be filtered to accept
only email with a From address of a valid, approved faq maintainer,
thus getting rid of 99.9% of the spam to that address. It would be
reasonable to give this address to people who have reached some stage
of the initial approval dialog. (In practice I believe you try to give
priority to those who have already gone through the initial stages;
this would merely formalize it.)
For that matter, it doesn't even need to be secret at that point --
just filtered for valid maintainers in the From. Spammers aren't going
to forge an faq maintainer's address just to reach a single address.
