As Mark noted, this is all a result of ticket #17899; however, there really
wasn't a "discussion" per se. Django comes from a journalism background,
and as such, we follow the Associated Press (AP) stylebook for language
rules. In early 2011, AP announced they were changing their rules regarding
email vs e-mail [1]; this was reported in a ticket, but a little too late
for the 1.4 release, so it has been integrated into 1.5.
