Thank you!  I was able to reset the password and log in.

Seems like a sensible precaution.  I'm in no rush.  Sending a notification
email to the old address seems like a good idea regardless of the reason
for the change to an account email.

want to reset password, but email is defunct

2022-06-02 Thread Scott McPeak 
Hi,

If possible, I'd like to regain access to the account "smcpeak".  My
password manager says I last accessed it on 2012-06-06.  I still have what
should be the password, but it does not work at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/account/login.php .  I'm pretty sure the email
for that account is "smcp...@coverity.com", but I no longer have access to
that, so cannot reset normally.

Is there a procedure for recovering access in this situation?

If not, it's not a big deal, as I can just make a new account, but
continuity of identity is preferable.
