13 years ago Shane confirmed that this is no longer working. We're not going to re-implement this because we currently output the username as an identifier on comments and many users probably won't want their e-mail address showing up everywhere.
Users who have already signed up with their e-mail address as their username are given the option of changing their username.
Django's usernames can only be < 30 characters. This excludes longer e-mail addresses from being used as usernames. It's relatively easy to have your auth code check the password of the user associated with an e-mail address rather than a particular username, and I think I had implemented this at some point. Do we want to reimplement this so all users have username = e-mail address or are we ok with some users having different styles of usernames?
