Comment (by samuelsidler):

 What's the end goal here with creating wapuu at wordpress.org? It seems it's
 to have give the default commenter a Gravatar. I think it'd be better to
 hack in a custom Gravatar than add an email address in perpetuity.

 If we create wapuu at wordpress.org, what do we expect the user experience
 should be of those that email it? Since it's in core by default and seen
 by "all" users, we should have an answer to that. Should emails get
 rejected / returned to sender? Should they get forwarded to `/dev/null`?
 Both of those experiences seem less than ideal for an in-product email
 address. What if we want to use wapuu at wordpress.org as an official email
 address for some project in 5 or 10 years?

 I don't have a plan on how to do it, but I think it'd be better if we
 faked a Gravatar for the default user ''without'' any email address.
