The password is required to make such change.
Even if it was implemented, what would happen if it was not the real user (which should not be possible since the password is required):
- If it is an e-mail with some sort of link or code to change back the e-mail, the owner of the previous e-mail would get notified and would probably do nothing because the thief would have changed his password already.
- If it is a confirmation e-mail which he would have to reply so the e-mail change is confirmed, it would prevent legitimate e-mail changes by users who lost access to their old account.

I really don't think that is a nice feature to implement.
