Comment (by birgire):

 @GripsArt  Glad to hear you discussed this on contributor day.

 If I understand you correctly, then you're suggesting that the filename
 should not be sanitized?

 Allowing such filtering of file names, without restrictions, then plugins
 modifying it would e.g. have to consider:

 - Avoid creating files with unsupported chars, e.g. that cannot be
 deleted?
 - Avoid possible collisions of file names.
 - Avoid making it easier to guess the filenames.
 - ...

 There comes a risk with all filters, but I'm just trying to better
 understand the possible dangers here if it becomes open to modification
 :-) Maybe to have it documented in the filter's description, if added.

 I'm wondering what could be the use case of such a filter?

 Maybe removing the email address from it?
