 In order to reduce possible email abuse we should forbid the creation of
 multiple users associated with the same email. This is to allow for email-
 based recognition of fake/malicious users, for example.

 Also, users that create a new account with the same email might be just
 missing a "password reset" procedure instead, so it would be better to
 propose an alternative.
