While it's not hard to enable (I've made it work on a local instance),
it's not something I'm currently considering to do, for the very
simple reason that it completely bypasses any kind of security checks.
Trusting the From: header of any random mail sent to a well-known (or
easily guessed) address and accepting that as a proof of identity
is... not good.  Oh, and it won't work anyway if two Gforge accounts
share a single mail address.

  The same applies to posting to forums, by the way.
