Comment:

 Hold on. In testing further, [attachment:"46748.diff"] blocks email login
 in `wp_authenticate_email_password()`. The PR adds an `is_email()` check.
 This needs further investigation to determine if the changes are
 appropriate or if something else is going on. I agree with
 @TimothyBlynJacobs to punt this to 6.0. Give it time for more discussion
 and investigation.

 Marking as `needs-patch` as the current patches do not fully resolve the
 reported issue: i.e. works for username login, but not email login.
