Got it!! Thanks!!

There are now around 1,000 emails in the wiki user list that I think are
not spammer accounts (of about 3,500 total wiki accounts) and 2,175 emails
in that list, so this will be very helpful in marking non-spammer accounts
correctly :)

I suppose there are also emails in ASLO, Pootle, Gitorious, and perhaps
other web services hosted by Sugar Labs, but I don't think its important to
get them, because I think its safe to assume that anyone using any of those
services will have been a wiki user or posted at least once to at least one
SL email list.
