we are trying to make core work better out of the box for admins. pointing out a contrib module that does this is not really helpful, IMO. More helpful would be reviewing the patch as Damien requests. Earnie Boyd wrote:

Hello Drupal developers!
This is my first post to this list and I apologize up front if i am suggesting something newbish or stupid or going about this the wrong way... but here goes!
I would like to propose inclusion of a small patch to user.module, which extends /admin/user/search so that if you have "administer user" permissions, your search string will match against e-mail addresses as well as just usernames. I looked at the DEP documentation and I think tihs is probably simple enough to propose here in email, as there is a patch ready...
Perhaps http://drupal.org/project/advuser would fit the need.
