Looks good. I don't know if we document our email verification at all, so I guess nothing public-facing needs to change.

I have run into a few different people who have had issues with email verification and getting locked out of accounts, so making this easier is a 💯 on my side.

He, well, we are saying that we trust them for email verification already: https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/connected-accounts.html#how-does-the-connection-work

At the same time, we use this process for authentication (login) since we trust that GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab have verified your user account and email address.
