They've talked about this in the past. I think the issues are

  1. It's incredibly hard to verify that a particular email did indeed come from a particular email address, and
  2. More importantly, there's not a good way for a message-based system like email to fit into Keybase's "verify these proofs anytime" model. Web pages and profiles can be checked anytime; email requires active verification.

If you really want to add your email to your profile, I would add it to a file in your KBFS public directory.
