Yeah. As I mentioned at the time, my primary concern was to make the wiki 
reflect the status quo. It's all good.

I'm OK with Derek's answer, David T.  Are you?

No. There's no problem. I just want the wiki page to reflect what actual 
practice is. I wasn't thinking that the accounts would be removed.

Hi,

All accounts that touched any GnuCash bug were migrated over.  The ONLY
user data migrated were email address and full name.  The user account
passwords were NOT migrated because password data is not accessible (which
is a GOOD THING).  So all those accounts are, technically, in a dormant
state.  If those users would like to access them then they will need to
perform a password reset on the account.

Removing accounts is... challenging.  The database requires them to remain
in order to maintain proper history.

Is there a problem with keeping the accounts around?

[GNC-dev] Dormant Bugzilla Accounts

[David T. via gnucash-devel]

This message is probably directed to Derek…

In the course of editing the wiki on the subject of Bugzilla accounts, the 
question arose as to how many gnome.bugzilla.org  
accounts had been ported over to bugs.gnucash.org  
and remained in dormant status—and if there are still many of these, have the 
powers that manage these issues made any kind of determination on how these 
accounts will be handled now, should the account holder seek access again? 

It would seem to me that after a certain period of time, any accounts that 
remained unaccessed should be considered unused, and the account disabled. The 
user would then have to register from start again as if they were new users. 
Others felt that it would be appropriate to continue the original model for 
several years. 

Can someone inform me what practice will be followed in this regard?

The manner in which this issue is handled will affect the language and content 
of the wiki with regards to the Bugzilla wiki page, and I want to be sure that 
whatever gets put there reflects the practice and goals of the developer base.

Cheers,
David
