This makes the joining a team workflow more complex. At the moment, I
can create a team and add you too it. If this means I can view your
protected email address, that is a disclosure bug. We would need to
add a confirmation step for every team addition, or a new team type
making things more confusing to end users.

We do have https://launchpad.net/~username/+contactuser - does this
help? IIRC, this is currently available to authenticated users, so we
would have to think carefully before allowing anonymous access via
SMTP to this channel. We could create a SMTP forwarder service, that
Launchpad could use to create time limited email forwarders. But then
we are replacing a system we don't really want to support with another
system.
