Request: change username to one abandoned by another user
I'd like to change my Launchpad username to "tj" - to match my real name. There is an existing user TJ Warren with the ID but so far as I can tell the account has been inactive since 2005.
I emailed him in May to ask if he would allow me to takeover the "id" username but have had no reply (the email is reproduced below).
I know that other users have previously been able to do this when old accounts have been abandoned; I wonder if you could do the same for me?
Thanks.
TJ.

Hi, I was wondering if you still use or require your Ubuntu Launchpad account 'tj' - it doesn't show any activity on your part since 2005.
I've been an active Ubuntu developer and bug-fixer since 2006. As my real (legal) name is "TJ" (pronounced Teej) I would like to be able to rename my current Launchpad account 'intuitivenipple' to
something more useful and related to me. I also operate the domain "iam.tj" to reinforce to people that my name is just "TJ" :)
I wonder if you would consider changing your account name on Launchpad so that I might be able to rename my account to "tj" ?
Many thanks in advance for your consideration.
TJ.
