The main problem with inferring the email address seems to be is that checked both the email domain and the hostname. Perhaps it would be reasonable to assume that if the machine's mail domain is set, it is correct. So we might get auto commits from <email address hidden> but not from joe@home. Then sysadmins just need to make sure /etc/mailname is set, which it probably is already.
