Is leaving the email as a required field for registration against FOSS philosophy by any means? even if it won’t be used for anything other than user verification/notifications if agreed by the user?

    I don’t remember the details right now but you can do email verification without the need to store the email address in your db, with a hash in the activation link.

      good call! I’ll look into this, I’m starting an elixir project and there’s no updated for captchas except reCaptcha support, I’ll see if I can find a secure way to handle this.
