Looks like the prevailing pattern in for the examples in this repo is <example-name>@mozilla.org where example-name is a kebab case identifier that resembles the example's parent directory. This pattern has the benefit of being reserved on AMO, so developers cannot submit add-ons with these IDs while testing.
