Nothing fancy as said before :

- vcard like feature for those that want ( ie, nothing force people to
enter them ). There is already provision of this in ldap schema, and I
think that's something that people could want. At least, I would, but I
could live without it.

However among the 3 distribution DIT I checked :
launchpad (ubuntu) does it ( but you have to be logged to see ),
fas (fedora) doesn't , 
and debian db do not show email and I do not have access to it to check.
But I do not think it has any kind of email in their ldap, as the
primary authentication system is gpg. 

- additional mail that would be accepted when posting on sympa for
people like me or nanar that use several mails, or for specific case
like cross posting ( I use @mdv.org on mdv email, and @zarb.org on
mageia ml, so cross posting is not possible for someone like me ).
That's my pet peeve.

- could ease people's life as they would use any of their mails ( ie no
need to remember what mail they did use, as noted by nanar in this
thread )

But also note this is a secondary feature, ie one that we cannot enable
right now, as we first need to check this is doable without too much
work ( or doable with lots of work if someone does the work ). 

So not having it would be ok too.
