Sure, deleting Savannah accounts would be a very bad idea, for many reasons,
like the ones you pointed out, but Savane accounts are not deleted in any way,
hopefully.

Project: Savane
Submitted by: Sylvain Beucler

Category: Backend
Severity: 1 - Trivial
Priority: C - Normal
Resolution: Works for me
Assigned to: yeupou
Status: Closed
Release: 1.0.0
Planned Release:
Summary: Users w/o projects are deleted
Original Submission: I am not sure it is a good idea to remove users that are
not part of a project anymore. One can quit the project he is contributing to,
and later reuse its account to contribute to another project.
That behavior works in some cases, but not all.
The file that does the job is sv_users.pl.

I think I confused Savannah users and Unix users.
In this requests, I mentioned the fact that Savannah users are deleted. I agree
with the deletion of Unix accounts.
I disagree with the deletion of Savannah account, since
- it makes the users recreate his account,
- it could allow people to 'steal' the account, above all when the user is not
warned that the Savannah account is deleted.

Users that do no longer belongs to any group should not have an unix account.
They have no use for it (since they are not attached to any group) but it poses
usual additionnal security risk: more easily you give shell access to unknown
people (as most users are), more easily you allow malicious behavior.
So it is a good thing, there by design, that only projects members get an unix
account, because others members have nothing to do with anything but the web
interface.
If a user quit a project and join another one later, a new account we'll be
created.
