Just in terms of privacy, it's worth noting that anyone who has uploaded something on IA already has their email address publicly viewable.

This isn't something that commonly known (even judging by comments here) but in the publicly viewable metadata of every upload it contains the uploader's IA account email address. So from a security perspective it's bad but from a privacy perspective a lot of users probably weren't aware of this detail if they've uploaded anything.
