Maybe that would be acceptable.

Usually, by all means of classic security measures in information
systems I ever read and heard, Emails should not be shown - as well as
a list of all users in a wiki whould not be shown unless users accept
explicitly to be listed.

A user who forgot on which Mail account he has registered should
either have to check all his 3 or 100 accounts, or he's lost anyway if
the mail account is already dumped, then he has to create a new wiki
login anyway.

Sure these things are more important in partly closed and private wiki
as I am going to use it for, and less for closed wikis, but xWiki is
an enterprise wiki, which is most often closed for many but a limited
amount of people.

Wikipedia is a total different environment - but for a wiki like this,
many people rather use mediawiki...
