Description Kat 2006-03-22 05:43:59 UTC
Warn bureaucrats when sysopping a user without an email address; many wikis
strongly encourage all admins to be reachable by email or to have email
registered so that lost sysop passwords may be retrieved -- this would serve as
a reminder.

Component of both the special pages (built-in user rights page) and extensions
(Wikimedia's custom makesysop extension).

Not all of them, though, so this should be configurable if introduced in core.
