My point is that I don't have the impression that Debian Developers want to have an LP account activated at all, so IMO it doesn't really matter if the account is activated implicitly via some (authenticated) action or exlicitly by clicking on the 'claim this account' link. And frankly, I don't think that the account activation is really the problem here. Interested developers can easily read up the documentation how to use the email interface and activate their LP account. Doing this for all DD developers is guaranteed to annoy developers who refuse to be remotly associated with launchpad or ubuntu. By requiring to activate accounts explicitly we avoid this in the first place. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
