| ricotz | hello, I am currently admin of https://launchpad.net/~vala-team and the original owner of the team has deleted his account. Is it possible for me to acquire the ownership? | 12:38 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | ricotz: We can certainly consider it (though if you're already an admin then being the owner doesn't add much); please file a question | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | But | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | The owner didn't delete their own account; it was disabled administratively due to bug spam | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | Which was of the "forged From address" type, so possibly a compromised address book or something | 12:40 |
| ricotz | I see, since the account page was gone I assumed it was deleted | 12:41 |
| ricotz | ok, will file a question | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | I've unsuspended their account in favour of the newer protection we have against that type of spam, but they'd need to log in to reactivate it | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | If you're in contact with them then can you let them know? | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | (though if we suspended their account for that then they probably hadn't been active for a while) | 12:42 |
| ricotz | I am not in contact with Philipp Schlesinger | 12:42 |
| ricotz | cjwatson, https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/675870 | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | tsimonq2: Do you actually just want to rename the team and bring the old mailing list archives with it? | 13:28 |
| cjwatson | tsimonq2: We don't need to export the archive to you in order to do that - we can move it across internally | 13:31 |
| cjwatson | (We have an internally-documented process for that - it hasn't been used for some time but AFAIK should still work) | 13:31 |
| tsimonq2 | cjwatson: Oh, sure. We don't plan on using the LP mailing list (in favor of a private l.u.c one) but the archives should be kept. | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | Our process for that is https://help.launchpad.net/Teams/MailingLists#Renaming_your_team | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | It's a bit back-and-forth but if we do it during the working day it could happen reasonably quickly | 13:56 |
| tsimonq2 | Sure, I'll be (consistently) around in ~ 20 minutes? | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | sure | 14:15 |
| tsimonq2 | cjwatson: Alright, hi. | 14:20 |
| tsimonq2 | The mailing list is deactivated, so I just need to purge it, right? | 14:20 |
| tsimonq2 | (Seems a bit odd that I have to purge it and then ask an LP admin to recover it. :P) | 14:21 |
| tsimonq2 | Hm, yeah, seems like what the docs say... | 14:23 |
| tsimonq2 | "By purging this list, you guarantee that there are no artifacts of this mailing list (such as its persistent archives) that need to be manually changed, backed up, deleted, or renamed." | 14:25 |
| tsimonq2 | That seems to be against what the docs imply... | 14:25 |
| cjwatson | I am reasonably sure that purging in fact does not delete the archive, but we can get an admin to back it up first | 14:26 |
| tsimonq2 | Alright, I'll go ahead then. | 14:27 |
| tsimonq2 | Renamed, and mailing list re-activated. | 14:28 |
| cjwatson | tsimonq2: all done | 14:36 |
| tsimonq2 | Thanks! | 14:40 |
