Do we really need requestWriteMode() here? Sending e-mails through the wiki doesn't really qualify as writing IMO.
"Write-mode" should apply to any action that has side effects (modifying data, causing anything to be sent to a third-party, etc).
It *must* be possible to clearly demarcate between read-only data access and stuff that does stuff.
For that matter I'm verrrrrrrry leery of any automated interface for email such as this.
