Comment (by dcavins):

 Well, I'm not opposed to storing this information in an existing table.
 However, I think we agree that we shouldn't be storing personal
 information for users who wish to opt-out of communications from the site.
 So the hashing creates a special case that would be hard to handle in the
 signups table (assuming members have a plaintext email and opt-outs are
 hashed).

 I used to be averse to special-purpose tables in WP, too, but I've
 definitely come around to the view that custom tables can be slim and
 simpler than stretching post types & meta or similar.
