 Hi!
 Sure, an already registered email would recive, also registering, the lost
 password link.
 Huge databases exist, but this is not only for bruting force. It's also,
 in my opinion, a privacy leak. If I know your email and I wanna check if
 you're registered on that site I can.

 Don't just think on WordPress as a blog, think if it's a WooCommerce
 online pharmacy, I could know if you buyed something on that ecommerce...
 just as an example.
