Noted — and fixed.

Possibly, but I think that would be a good think to work on in a next
patch.

Well, this is something I'm not so sure about… Mentions should rather
work with Real Names (autocompleting them to the login names, possibly
expanding to a Real Name on display), but I don't think autocompletion
should be done to email addresses. But let's address that later on,
it's a bigger topic on its own.
