So about 40% of useful contributions come from users without confirmed emails, and we would be throwing them away ?
There's no evidence of what percentage of these uploaders would be willing to provide a confirmed email address if required to do so.
There are many editors who entered an email address ages ago before confirmation was required, and now do not have a confirmed email address because of this. Despite sitenotices, most have probably not gone and fixed the problem, since there's been no pressing personal need to do so.
