I think it might help if you think of <company>.corp-partner.google.com
addresses as gmail.com addresses. People who are using these addresses
are not employees of Google nor contractors for Google; they work for
their respective <company>.

The main reason person@<company>.corp-partner.google.com addresses are
being used for mainline submissions is because it is actually possible
to set up "git send-email" with them, as their main domain typically
handled by Exchange and mandates Outlook.
