Launchpad itself

can't merge sourceforge account

Asked by Nasenbaer

Through importing the Widelands svn repository from sourceforge.net, my original account <email address hidden> was recreated on launchpad.

But the problem is, that I can't merge that account to my, as launchpad sends the authentication email to <email address hidden>, which is not used as email by sourceforge and so I never get those mails.
sourceforge uses <nickname>@users.sourceforge.net, so it would be quite useful (surely not just for me ;) ) to improve the authentication script.

If you don't want to improve the script, could someone please merge the account? If you want to prove, that I own the account nasenbaer_peter, please send a mail to <email address hidden> - that one should reach me :).

Thanks in advance!

nasenbaer_peter does not appear to exist. Do you perhaps mean the account nasenbaer-peter?

Yes, sorry forgot tom mention that.
the account was imported as "nasenbaer-peter" - however the sourceforge account was nasenbaer_peter and when I try to merge the accounts, the mail is send to <email address hidden>.

Might it be, that launchpad does not support nicknames with "_" and so renamed the account to nasenbaer-peter?

However the email problem exists and the account here on launchpad is "nasenbaer-peter"
