FWIW: The only other place where users have to care about their (and

specify email addresses there too. @usern...@example.com should work
in the scanner (regexp) and auto completer. Some users would perhaps
prefer to avoid exposing their email address so it should perhaps be
configurable somehow ... but I'm pretty sure we already expose email
addresses in other places so such a "privacy" option would be a
separate feature.
Well, this is something I'm not so sure about… Mentions should rather
work with Real Names (autocompleting them to the login names, possibly
expanding to a Real Name on display), but I don't think autocompletion
should be done to email addresses. But let's address that later on,
it's a bigger topic on its own.

It would be nice if completion worked for real names too, yes. But there are people for whom I know their email address but not necessarily the exact spelling of their Real Name ... and certainly not what username they chose when they registered on this site. So it would be nice if completion worked for all, even though not all would work for @mentioning in text.
