That is a very interesting idea. I think that would work well, considering
the page is on the wiki too.

The only issue with this is cases (like mine) where someone forgets to set
the whoami, so the email is usern...@hostname (in my case, ja...@jfvm1).
That's not a valid email address so it would be impossible for me to
associate that with my Launchpad account. It would be great if I could just
go back and fix that, ;).
