Comment:

 Hey there

 No need to create a new ticket for that, a comment on #44392 would
 suffice.

 That being said, a function like `get_user_field_by` probably has no use
 case in core or in many plugins either.

 Even if you only need the user's email address I'd highly recommend you to
 use `get_userdata()`. Fetching a user this way will try to avoid querying
 the database directly when the user has already been requested before and
 is available either in memory or in the object cache.
