I think when people have a technical issue they're more comfortable with an 'open a ticket' pattern rather than an 'email $anon' pattern.
I think you should spin up a Trello or a Jira or something and send them an invite to an Issues board.
Where I currently work, Desktop Support is a dude named Justin. When I want something I open a ticket in the Desktop Support portal. It would feel intrusive if I had a problem so I just called Justin up.
