Hi Patrick, I used emails "as usernames" many times in my projects. You can use django-authtools (https://github.com/fusionbox/django-authtools), it has an AbstractEmailUser (https://django-authtools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro.html#authtools.models.AbstractEmailUser). You can set your own custom User model, which inherits from AbstractEmailUser, and you will already have an Email authenticated user ready to roll :)
PD: I'm not related anyhow to the app, I just have found it very useful. Cheers, Chesco Igual.
