Comment:
The default maximum length of an email is 320 characters per RFC 3696
section 3, that's why `EmailValidator` that checks if string is an email
uses this boundary. There is no need to add `max_length` argument. If you
want to use a lower value you should add `MaxLengthValidator` that Django
will add automatically when you define `max_length` on model fields.
We could consider changing the default to `254` characters because it was
changed in [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321#section-4.5.3 RFC
5321], but this ticket is about adding `max_length` to the validator, so
it's "wontix" for me.
