Comment (by gwenpruden):

 The problem you described of continuing to receive admin emails from old
 client sites is a common one faced by many WordPress developers and
 agencies. Over time, as clients move on, the developer's email often
 remains as the admin email in WordPress settings with no easy way to
 change it if you no longer have access to the site.

 To solve this, you are suggesting a new WordPress feature that would allow
 the current admin email owner to remove their email through a special
 time-sensitive link, without needing to log into the site. This link would
 be similar to the ones used for new user registrations.

 When clicked, the link would allow the admin email owner to confirm the
 removal of their email from the WordPress settings on that site. This
 would provide an easy way for developers to stop receiving notifications
 and other emails from sites they no longer manage.

 Your idea makes a lot of sense as a way to deal with this widespread
 problem in a simple, automated fashion. By posting this thoughtful feature
 request on WordPress Trac after confirming it hasn't been suggested
 before, you are taking the right steps to get it in front of the WordPress
 developers for consideration in a future release. Well done providing a
 clear explanation and rationale for this useful feature.
