Launchpad itself

merge two team accounts

Asked by jMehdi

I requested the merge of two teams: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntume-googlegroups with https://launchpad.net/~ubuntume.team (the later is the good one) but I didn't receive any email. I think there is a problem because the email used for the first team is a google group mailing list email address.
Could you merge these teams for me?

Unfortunately there's a bug that means that if we merge this team and someone then uploads with the <email address hidden> email address, it wouldn't get associated with the right team, and that user will be recreated, since teams can only have one email address.

In any case, if you can claim the team using the URL below and then when the bug is fixed we can merge them:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntume-googlegroups/+claimteam

The only reason why teams can't have multiple email addresses is that there's no UI for doing that. If you claim an existing profile converting it to a team (http://launchpad.net/~ubuntume-googlegroups/+claimteam) and then later we merge that team into ubuntume.team, that team will end up with <email address hidden> as one of its emails and thus it won't be recreated.

Ah, cool. That being the case, these teams have been merged.

Thanks, Tom

I'm investigating another bug in Launchpad and I was wondering if the ubuntume-googlegroups team had been added as a member of ubuntume.team before they were merged. Is that possible, jMehdi?

Yes I think so.
