I didn't go into detail, but I can assure you user emails are not
exposed on the web in Discourse, but a post has to be associated with an
account, and an account has to be verified by emailing the user, and the
email is stored in their private profile so they can, well, receive
email. The technical issue is that this approach means you cant get a
response from emails defunct decades ago. And there's another amusing
issue is that I found on import of 25 years of stuff into a GNU Mailman
list that suddenly people started replying to topics and seemed
surprised that they got no response (because people don't seem to look
at dates!).

Discourse supports “staged users”, presumably that would help?
