Hello @mostafa,

Thank you for your reply!

This is a breaking change and I don't know if you want to merge it as is because backwards compatibility won't be ensured. Is that fine for you?

@mostafa Is it possible to progress this PR? It's causing issues in ours repos that implement the package as we're not passing email as username, so would be great to be able to have this in a new version as soon as possible.
If backwards compatibility is a concern, seems to me that the PR simply needs to pass email as a kwarg when calling create_new_user. My proposal is the only change required to fix the issue is, on line 121:

email = user.get(user_model.EMAIL_FIELD)
kwargs = {"email": email} if email else {}
target_user = create_new_user(user_id, user["first_name"], user["last_name"], **kwargs)

I believe this will be backwards compatible.

Thanks!
