Feature Description

GItea has many different features requiring a mail address, eg.:

Notifications
Commits made via Web UI
Contact mail displayed on you user profile
Account actions (password recovery, ...)

All of these features are currently using the same mail address (the one selected as Primary).
Being able to select different mail addresses for different use cases would be a great benefit for productivity.
One thing one could do with a feature like this is setting a different address for notification to prevent them from cluttering your main mailbox.

I'd love to be able to do something like this:

Contact Mail and account actions: mail@drmaxnix.de
Commits made via Web UI: git@drmaxnix.de
Notifications: notifications@drmaxnix.de (seperate mailbox for notification spam)

Screenshots

GitHub allows setting a different mail address for following features:

Primary (Account actions)

Notifications

Web UI Commits

Public Contact Mail
