+1 from me.  The only question I'd have is whether it would be

on using a different address in bugzilla and the account system would
just have to deal, of course.)


I agree it would be superior to use the FAS account names everywhere, and have services that need something different to need to deal with it somehow. (Currently we have a tiny hard-coded e-mail to e-mail mapping in the ACL handling code.)

This however would be another change to existing code that is live. With other big changes happening, I don't know if it is wise to change this many things at once?

A counter-argument however would be... does only owners.list -> CVS ACL use the Bugzilla address and nothing else? If so, why not change it now before this new policy goes live.

I suppose also that it is too easy for e-mail addresses to be harvested from places like this too.

I'll look into how difficult it would be to reverse the mapping and use FAS names in owners.list instead of Bugzilla. This might help to simply some things... although it would still need a hard-coded mapping hack in order to allow for the few people who have e-mail addresses that don't match.
