I agree it's needed. It cannot currently be done automatically because we lack a mapping between a -guest account and the relevant new debian uid, which may be different. A manual way to do this is needed. It needs to be only available for DDs, so it does not need any special verification step and we can just allow any DD to associate any alioth email or login name to themselves, even if they are already associated to someone else, and if anyone abuses of this, when someone complains the auditing of the changes in the site will point out who they are. So, the way I see to implement this is: - if you are a DD, you get a "claim alioth account" feature in your personal page - the "claim alioth account" page has a form that allows you to choose an alioth account name, with completion, and associate it to you - on submission, the account is unassociated if it was, and is associated to the current DD. Both login and email identifiers corresponding to that foo-guest account get associated to the current DD. There can be an extra check that ensures that the alioth account is not associated to another DD, and raises an error otherwise.
