Client side validation of form-user

[cmb69]

That is supposed to be an email address, and the client side validation
will at least help legitimate users (and maybe reduce some nonsense).

That is supposed to be an email address...

If that's the case, maybe change the label (currently "Your email address (or name):") as well, and the server-side validation.
If it's not the case (i.e. can be email or a plain name), thumbs down on this change.

Ah, good catch, @salathe! The point is that a user can enter a name only, but the notification mails then show USERNAME@mail.php.net as sender (e.g. https://news-web.php.net/php.notes/219540). This is confusing for readers, and it makes it impossible to reject user notes (so they need to be deleted). If we can change the behavior of the mail server, I'm okay-ish with asking for username or email address (although that still would cause deletions instead of rejections).
