 My question was actually a misleading one (which you answered, thanks!).
 What I really should have asked was:

 Should BridgeDB really be storing email addresses at all? There are ways
 that it can link requests from an email address without comparing the
 actual email addresses. However, by not storing the real email address,
 this makes it difficult to have a subscription-based system.

 I guess this is another security vs usability issue :)
