+1, indeed perhaps excluding the domain part would keep most of the
benefit of recognizability but avoid the privacy concern.

We could do something where people associate an id with their account
that is not an email address, or perhaps bzr could let people mark and
sign commits using an openid url. But that's getting a bit blueskyish
to treat as a bug.
