User "Wikinaut" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r92924.

Commit summary:

* Moved email changing from sp:Preferences to new sp:ChangeEmail, which 
requires confirming the user password. This reduces the impact of session 
hijacking, which was increased slightly with r86482. Changing a password 
already required confirming the old one. This change closes the loophole of 
changing the email address and then doing a reset.
* Parse 'mailerror' message correctly

Comment:

Remark: I checked this against extension OpenID (trunk version, which I 
maintain), and did not find a negative side effect to that or from that 
extension.

Background info:
E:OpenID has an option tab in preferences where users can opt-in that their 
e-mail address is updated from their OpenID sreg [1] record on every 
OpenID-login ("Update the following information from OpenID persona every time 
I log in: E-mail address").
