Dear rs,

A situation :
You have enabled e-mail commits and
1) You need to fill in the e-mail addresses of the project members (without using a mailinglist)
2) one or more project members change their e-mail addresses.
etc. etc.

it would take away lots of troubles and save time if you could type in the username in the e-mail addresses input field (or a seperate field if usernames can be constructed as e-mail addresses, if someone can register a username in this form ...[at]...[dot]...)instead of the e-mail adresses or both.

It’s very useless if a developer want to keep his/her e-mail private but it can happen, then you might have a option in user settings : keep e-mail address private for other users.

You’re right if you say/think users can report it theirselves if they change their e-mail addresses. Anyway, the project leader still needs to head over to the repository settings and needs to change their e-mail addresses manually, again, and again, and again.

I hope this explanation is obvious enough to understand. If not, I’ll try another way.

What are your opinions?
