So you report a bug with your email address and have to click verify in an email response to get it to a state people will look at it. That would eliminate the whole "oh no, one more account/password" hassle, but reduce spam and lack of working back channels.

This exits.  send-pr will use your email account if it exists.

An interesting idea would be to have send-pr reject email from
accounts that don't exist (as opposed to creating them).  We'll
consider this as time goes on.
