Bug Description
Changing the primary email address on a Launchpad account takes too many steps (6, by my count - see below). That could be cut down to 2 by a "change address" option on the form.
Now:
1) On the "Edit Emails" page (https:/
2) You should receive a confirmation email at your new email address. Click the link in the confirmation email, and press "confirm" on the page that loads
3) You should now be back at your user home page. Click the "Change details" link on the right side of the page.
4) Choose the "Email settings" tab on the "Change your personal details" page
5) There should be (at least) 2 email addresses listed. Select the new one and press the "Set as Contact Address" button
6) Select the old email address and press the "Remove" button
Proposed:
1) Enter a new email address in the new "change contact address" form; submit the form
2) Receive a confirmation email at the new address. Click the link in the confirmation email, and press "confirm" on the page that loads
