So the password reset generally went off without a hitch but a lot of people forgot to reset their password or just plain didn't and I'm wondering if it's because of where I sent the notifications to so I thought I'd ask. Would you generally like password reset requests to go to:
username@fedoraproject.org (the alias that directs to your email addr)
the email address we have listed
or both?
Please send it only once, I do not care to which address. But here are some suggestions for improvement:
- Please use a consistent subject for these mails:
February: Fedora Project Password Reset Request December(1): FAS Password Change Request December(2): FAS Password
- The mail from 2009-02-09 only said, that the password will expire. It was
not mentioned that also further action will occur, e.g. afaik the contents of fedorapeople.org where moved. E.g. I only changed my password because I had to submit a security update, but otherwise I would not have cared for an expired password, because of little available time for Fedora work right now. Nevertheless I would have cared about moved fedorapeople.org contents or missing CVS notifications.
Yeah this was the point that was missed, missing a password reset should *not* remove web content and email addresses, this is called overkill, a staged removal, where you reset the password, wait 2-3 months and then start culling the crap.
Its also arguable whether web content should ever be killed, when I started in RH people were very quick to give out about people.redhat.com, and saying use people.fedoraproject.org we don't have any of the silly limitations and a/c expiring stuff. Guess they were wrong.
