Does any of the new methods apply here? I see no way the users could get
@en.wikipedia.org email addresses and ?rel=author links from the page itself.

It seems much cleaner and realistic to 
1) use rel=author from the history (and from the footer for $wgMaxCredits > 0);
2) link the history from each page with rel=author and let indexers figure it
out (cf. comment 4): <link rel="author license" href="/about"> is an example
from an HTML 5 draft
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/document-metadata.html#rel ;
3) whitelist rel=me links from user pages in some way (or let some extension
figure this out).

Note that some are using ridiculously complex mixes of extensions to do this:
