My comments on the value of allowing voluntary email address submission 
were limited to the Community Edition at the .org site - see the second 
half of this post for what I wrote on the subject:

How they handle email address harvesting at the .com site for the 
proprietary edition is, literally, their business.

I usually direct questions I have about their business to them directly, 
rather than to other users here, because I don't expect the users here 
to answer questions only the company can answer.


For the Community .org site, however, I feel it can be most effective in 
terms of both promoting platform adoption and reducing cost to the 
company to the degree that it actively invites community participation.

That is a set of goals I'm still pursuing.
