May I claim an abandoned Launchpad user name?

Asked by QIII

I am an Admin on The Ubuntu Forums, where I go by QIII. I also have a blog where I write as QIII and my email on my domain is qiii@...

The name qiii is assigned on Launchpad, but I would like to claim it since it appears to have been abandoned. That would get my ubuntu.com email aligned with everything else.

I have contacted the current owner of the account both by the contact functionality on Launchpad and via his/her published email. I have received no response for 10 days. (Contact was attempted on 24 Feb, 2017)

The apparently abandoned account page is https://launchpad.net/~qiii

My account page is https://launchpad.net/~paddyhayes

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello!

It has now been 14 days since I attempted contact with the owner of the account https://launchpad.net/~qiii with no response. It has also been three days since I asked if I could claim the account as abandoned.

Is this something that can be done?

Thanks!
