Capture e-mail addresses, and allow users to verify them through e-mail. This code is nearly complete but totally untested.
This was designed for use with the ArticleFeedback extension. The idea is that members of the Wikimedia Community Department can collect e-mail addresses (largely of people without user accounts) in order to contact them in the future about creating an account, editing an article, etc. The extension stores the individual's e-mail address, a verification code, and a verification boolean in a database table.
Feedback [edit]
