Comment:

 I just added [attachment:9568.11.diff] which applies cleanly against trunk
 again. It's what I'd call a minimum viable patch:

 * No unnecessary variable changes
 * Adds `@ticket 9568` to the unit test
 * Updates docs, removes duplicated hook docs

 The goal is simple: Do not change any behaviour regarding user
 registration, just allow logging in using your email address for more
 comfort.

 Changing milestone for consideration for 4.5. Happy to work more on this
 patch if necessary.
