Two purposes for Blue Sheets:
1. Redundant data entry: Quite often, the name is illegible, while the
e-mail is legible. We don't care about the e-mail address, what we really
care about is who was there. IMHO, this is the important use for capturing
the e-mail address.
2. Legal issues: When the inevitable patent dispute happens, we WILL get
served to report who was in the room when a particular subject was
discussed. Other standards bodies have had this problem, if we haven't had
it, it means our time is near :-(

All,
We are considering changing the meeting Blue Sheet by eliminating the
need to enter an email address to avoid spam concerns.
Is there any good reason to retain that info bit?

It's is the only unique token on the blue sheets. This
assumes no shared email accounts which is a pretty reasonable
assumption in this case.
