Sorry, it is not clear what particular bugzilla instance you are
writing about. You are sending e-mails and you should be able to
register a new account. Do you mean that you have managed to upset
developers to the degree when they decide to ban your active mail
address?
I parsed it as something like "I can't register an account that has the
same name (in whatever sense matters to me) as the one I had before,
because that account already exists, and I can't recover that account,
because it's trying to recover via an E-mail address I no longer have
access to.".
The question of in what sense the account has the "same name" is
undetermined, but the existence of such an additional constraint is the
only way I can see to parse the given scenario so that it makes sense.
correct
