They have a GUI where you could select it in a widget. In Emacs, you
type it (modulo completion). And with Tramp names, one line in the
minibuffer is often too short; personally I dislike too long file names
there. Unreadable.

Yes, but only if it contains a Google mail address. Otherwise, it would
be a too wide guess. Personally, I own a gmail.com account, but I don't
use it in my `user-mail-address'.

Well, `user-login-name' might also be misleading. So we could agree on this?

;;;###tramp-autoload
(when (string-match "\\(.+\\)@\\(gmail\\|googlemail\\)\\.com" user-mail-address)
  (add-to-list 'tramp-default-user-alist
               `("\\`gd\\'" nil ,(match-string 1 user-mail-address)))
  (add-to-list 'tramp-default-host-alist
               '("\\`gd\\'" nil "gmail.com")))

(Yes, the method name is not agreed yet between us ...)
