If you wanted to make this generic you'd need to provide a callback
(an interface called) so that applications can have a say in how their
data is displayed. There would be default displayers but apps would be
able to override them. Then the User application (or the admin app if
users are considered inside the admin app) would override the display
for XWikiUsers properties named email.
That said, it's probably a good idea to obsfucate all email properties
by default so an email property type would be a good thing too.
Just some ideas for the future and for improved comments in the source
code (so that we remember).
Thanks
