Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 [attachment:9568.10.diff] still applies. Some feedback:

 * Any of the hooks where the `$username` parameter is changed, the
 parameter description should reflect that it could be a username or email
 and a changelog entries should be added to the hook docs to reflect that
 emails are now also possible
 * "Collate" is misspelled as "Coallate" in a couple of places
 * Coding standards (mostly spacing) should be applied to changed or new
 code
 * The test method should have a docblock with `@ticket 9568` so that test
 can be targeted by group (test passes)
