I've just gotten another email request for

photos. Of course they have permission, but I'm struck by how much
trouble people always seem to go to find an address to send to. I'm
thinking that we should suggest to commoners that they post direct
contact info if they're comfortable with that, at least on user page if
not on every image - I think there's only been one time that a reuser
found mediawiki's secret email-to-user option and contacted me that way.
Email-to-user was great... before we locked it down and required both
parties to have confirmed accounts. I wonder - could we patch it so
that someone can set, in their preferences, the option to allow use of
special:emailuser by non-registered users?
