In general, if you want to add a top level element to
a titlepage, you add it in the titlepage.templates.xml
specification file and generate a new titlepage.templates.xsl.

But in this case, authorgroup is already in the spec file, but
you want to change what it does with its children.
So it can be done by customizing existing templates.

The template you want to customize is in html/titlepage.xsl:

<xsl:template match="author" mode="titlepage.mode">
  <div class="{name(.)}">
    <h3 class="{name(.)}"><xsl:call-template name="person.name"/></h3>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode" select="./contrib"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode" select="./affiliation"/>
  </div>
</xsl:template>


As you can see, it is processing the name, contrib,
and affiliation elements.  If your email element
was inside the affiliation, it would automatically
appear.  Otherwise, you need to add a line to
this template in your customization layer:

<xsl:template match="author" mode="titlepage.mode">
  <div class="{name(.)}">
    <h3 class="{name(.)}"><xsl:call-template name="person.name"/></h3>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode" select="./contrib"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode" select="./affiliation"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode" select="./email"/>
  </div>
</xsl:template>

This template is discussed in my book in the section
"Modify individual element templates" in 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlCustomEx.html
