One of the barriers to reducing or eliminating on-wiki changing username request pages is the requirement of an email address. Making Special:GlobalRenameRequest usable without an email address would help to reduce traffic to these venues.

Currently, Special:GlobalRenameRequest is only usable by supplying an email address (presumably in order to facilitate return communication to the requester). If users without access to email were able to use the feature, they would no longer have to make requests on pages such as meta:Steward requests/Username changes.
