Bug Description

This causes a lot of OOPSes in the PPA publisher and would be very, very hard to fix. The only reasonable solution is to block the merge until someone deletes their PPAs.

This is high priority, it's causing thousands of OOPSes each day in the publisher when someone merges accounts with PPAs.

We can add a PPA check in block that checks for an active mailing list.

The check should be identical to the one used for renaming people.
