Description
trac should check the (syntactical) validity of e-mail addresses in ticket submissions, e.g. in "Owned by" and Cc fields. In practice, it should check that they contain a @ (and only one).
As trac requires full e-mail addresses, contrary to Portfiles, this check would be useful since it is easy to do a mistake.

After switching to GitHub, the fields can now also take just GitHub user names. Ultimately we cannot validate those, as their might be GitHub users who never logged into Trac. However, we also have auto-completion for known users. I think this is enough validation to avoid obvious mistakes.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
When the reassign-to field was first changed to a text box, there was talk of adding code to autocomplete bare usernames by adding @macports.org.
