Confirm email input box

Hi.

There is an issue where sometimes people misspell their email address when they enter it. Then they never receive the confirmation emails. There is no way for the admin to correct the email address either. Worse still, as the uniqueness with Mediawiki is on username, the account is created but effectively useless as the email address was mistyped. The only way round this is to delete the account when the person finally complains that they have not received any confirmation emails.

Would it be possible to either have a confirm email entry box on the request form or add the ability for admins to edit the email address in the admin screen?

Thanks!
