Hey packagedb and accounts2 people, As part of filling the test packageDB with data, I'm working on a script that pulls information out of owners.list and enters it into the packageDB. One of the problems is that I've got 631 errors where an email address in owners.list doesn't match with anyone in the current accounts system. So I need to get a handle on how we can fix these issues both short-term and long-term.
Unfortunately this is a common problem. I too fit into this category. The new accounting system should probably account for a users bugzilla email. The difficulty is in verifying this and not just trusing what the user says though I don't really know what damage they could do. -Mike
