[Mediawiki-l] Email approval before login

[Sy Ali]

How about valuing email verification before editing:

* To assure that person x on wiki a is the same as person y on
wiki/forum/mailing list/toaster b. (I mean wiki, not necessarily
mediawiki)
* As a necessary step towards integrating logins between all those
various services.
* To make it possible to warn/ban an /email address/ from using the
wiki (vs graffiti, spam, etc)
