yeah i agree with that it's to specific on usernames as email addresses.
however wouldn't your proposal also only be a better solution if a
centralized user contacts storage (like a global addressbook) is used?

maybe this lookup could be made optional and disabled by default? so only
admins who uses email-addresses to authenticate would enable it to use? if
you would prefer such a solution we could extend our patch.
