Let me respond to this directly since a number of people have brought this up: Due to spam reasons we can't trust the email given via an OpenID provider in general. For example, it would be trivial for me to create an OpenID provider for myself, set my email address as and essentially spam them.

OpenID sounds like a plan. I'll probably add OpenID support to hpaste.org for management over pastes/remembering user details/default language, tracking annotations of your pastes, etc. We already have an OpenID Haskell implementation.
