I think it is by itself a good idea – but I am not sure "inactive_email" 
is the right word. There is:

* Non-primary email addresses - like in my case, my private email.
   Still valid and with FSF assignment, but my work email is my
   primary one.
* Old email addresses due to company-name changes - still valid but
   not used for new new emails. (I have one of those too.)
* Old email addresses - not valid any more, usually because of
   changing companies.

I think inactive is fine for all of those, but we could also have
a non_primary one - esp. for some things, I might still use my
private email – which is would be more a non_primary_email than
inactive_email.
