I wouldn't be surprised if they started asking for your phone number as well, as so many privacy-invading sites like to do these days.

This seems very likely. Reddit admins have mentioned that they are trying to crack down on alt accounts and banned users signing up 2 seconds after being banned. A phone number requirement would solve that easily.
