Comment (by julien):
I see that #8878 was closed as duplicate.
Hmmm... the more I think about this, the more I really think this should
be fixed. The current behaviour is just wrong.
Your suggestion of overriding `AdminSite.login()` defeats the purpose of
custom authentication backends altogether.
The fact is: email authentication is becoming increasingly popular and
inevitably a growing number of users are going to get hit by this. Again,
I'm not saying email authentication should be in core, I'm saying the
admin should not make any assumption about the way you're supposed to
login. The admin should make it easy and '''clean''' to override the
behaviour.
