That would not necessarily be a good idea. Enwiki has some adminbots that only perform deletions/protections/whatever and don't make any edits. They'd never get autoconfirmed, unless the bot owner would do some otherwise useless edits with them.

We have a "confirmed" usergroup for that already that basically gives the same rights...
As for email account's we don't really use them much for anything unless the person wants to get emails from other users or reset their passwords so it wouldn't really matter that much,
