I've just gotten another email request for permission to use one of my 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?

I stick it on my userpage ...

I'll gladly run my bot to add addresses to anyone who wants... I'm going to do this for myself tonight: I've seen this issue several times before and I don't know why I didn't post my email long ago. It's already in the exif of most of my photos.

Same thing here, it seems my photos of our just-elected French President are interesting more and more people.
