112: ability to enter email address when adding reviewers on 'people' list

Summary
  Requesting that certain people be added to the list of available
participants is all well and good but sometimes you need to specify an
email that isn't in the master list.  So for instance, I'm trying to add a
group to the set of reviewers or another colleague who is not on the master
email list.

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
http://reviewboard.eng.vmware.com/r/XXX

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select a draft or published review.
2. Select one of the pins under "Reviewers"
3. Add "someone@somewhere.com" and select save

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
  Would hope that the email is added to the list of reviewers but it is not.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
  Linux RHEL4u4, FireFox 2.0.4

For VMware folks, even if they haven't logged in (and thus don't have an account), it
should accept it.

That said, the ability to specify e-mail addresses in addition to usernames would be
nice, and is already reported in bug 67 :)
