Hi Martin That is a good point that hasn't occurred to me yet. However I have difficulties imagining a use case. We recommend multiple accounts mostly in two cases: privacy and for separating automated edits. If you do it for privacy, then better not link them together via the membership registry. The registry is not public, but can be inspected by members. I would rather not make the software more complicated for a rare case which can be handled manually by the MWG. But that is just my opinion. We will keep it in mind in any case. Just to make it clear: even with this planned automation, you can always submit your case for manual review.
