Description devnull freebsd_committer

Hi everyone,

I would like to request deletion of my account here. The only ticket I ever opened on this tracker years ago should probably be assigned to some anonymous account.

Thank you in advance.

We don't have the procedure ready for deleting account at this point (as far as I know): it's impossible to delete account without affecting history. I guess we can generate random name and random email and update your user's data, so it would look like re-assigning to random account. Would it be sufficient?

Yes, this is sufficient. Thank you for your efforts.

User login has been renamed to random email and blocked with "[DELETED]" tag in disable text.

Perhaps we can prefix the random email address consistently so that we can find them in the future, if/when we have a better process/methods for dealing with these requests. Also, did we reset 'Full Name' field (if it was set)?

Consolidating "account deleted by user request" tickets.

To do so, I have merged the devnull@FreeBSD.org "non-account" into ACCOUNT_DELETED@FreeBSD.org.

(e.g.:

  ./contrib/merge-users.pl spammer@spam.spamain ACCOUNT_DELETED@FreeBSD.org

)

I am now going to do a pass through the database making all of these consitent.
