What to do with an email-revealing attack where Eve changes his email to the
testing one, and then tries to login with that email to verify if it's
rejected, and thus there's another user with that email?
It would be very noisy for email-enabled wikis, though.

An alternative could be to deny login for emails shared by multiple accounts.
That's a denial of service when you don't remember your username or are trapped
in a foreign keyboard, but seems marginal. Moreover, the 'attacked' one can
easily get control of the accounts...
