Bug Description
Lately, I merged several account due to "forgotten password" supposed non working (my bad, was just laggy email account).
When I tried to merge one of these, I ran into an issue : I was unable add an old email address supposed to belong to a merged account because it was associated to Syrion-com,. Syrion-com was "auto-imported from a Mozilla Bugzilla comment";
As this auto-import interfered with email association (workarounded with account merging), and as no notification were sent to the auto-imported email, this feature is unexpected and annoying.
Please fix it with at least a notification, or don't create "phantom users" like Facebook does.
I can provide more informations :
1. created an account (jro) with email1
2. added email2 to this account
3. deleted email1 from jro ?
4. created a new account
5. merged old jro account into the new one, and renamed the new one as jro
6. merged Syrion-com into jro to retrieve email1
--> when auto-import ran ? after step 3 ?
