Comment (by dd32):

 Sorry, I missed these pings previously.

 I'm all for standardising on `is_email()`. I personally don't see any
 (practical) point in treating an email < 6 char as valid, so it makes
 sense to me for us to add that to the `is_email()` checks.

 I understand the other side of it though, it could potentially be a valid
 email address, we're just refusing to honor that as an valid email address
 for comments - which is why it shouldn't be in `is_email()` but should be
 within the comment handlers.
 At the end of the day though, discussion for keeping it, discarding it,
 adding it to `is_email()` is not worth our time, as it's all theoretical,
 and whomever wants to patch should decide what the most logical option is.
