I think considering the machine's mailname is perhaps not necessary.

As I see it, there are two significant divisions of use-cases here:

1) The ones that bug 549310 was filed about, where users are committing
revisions to be shared with the world, and the email address really
really ought to be a valid configured email address.

2) The ones who are managing an /etc-in-bzr, where <local-unix-user
@machine-hostname> is probably the exact most useful thing that we could
record anyway.

Could we not just add a branch.conf boolean setting (and corresponding
switches to 'bzr init', 'bzr reconfigure') which reverts to the previous
behaviour?
