Nice to see some comments on this. I think requiring a username to register is
fine; the trouble is that so many usernames are taken people's "normal"
username might not be available, so they register for something else
(myname00014, or whatever). If they are an infrequent editor remembering this
could be tough, which means they can't even recover their password, which means
they could well give up on trying to log in and go away in disgust (which means
one more editor lost). Allowing a person to enter their email address instead
to log in makes all this slightly easier.
