Comment:

 `wp_create_user()` was introduced in [2872], `$email` became optional in
 [2915], apparently for the MT importer.

 Calling `wp_create_user()` with an empty address throws an error, see
 #14417 (which was closed as a duplicate of #14767, going to do the same
 here). According to [comment:ticket:14767:3], we should make email
 addresses required and enforce uniqueness.
