Bug ID: 54760
Summary: sendConfirmAndMigrateEmail.php: add an option to
include emailconfirmed accounts
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement

sendConfirmAndMigrateMail has two purposes with its [[Special:MergeAccount]]
link: confirming the email and merging unattached accounts; however, if a
account has a confirmed email, it's skipped:
if ( $user->isEmailConfirmed() ) {
$this->output( "ERROR: The user '$username@$wgDBname' already has a
confirmed email address\n" );
return;
}
I think it's conceivable that we or someone may want to solicit those global
users too to merge the unattached accounts belonging to them.
In Wikimedia projects' case, if I understand the data correctly, they are the
global users corresponding to a subset of those 114,604 non-attached accounts
"who clash with a global account" as of 2013-05-06.

According to [[mw:Admin tools development/SUL Audit/Metrics 20130417]] about 80
% of the unattached accounts have an email set; no idea how many global
accounts do nor how many of those are already emailconfirmed, but it's probably
a good proportion.
