Bug Description
https:/
Part of this is obviously caused by changes to both accounts, but it would appear that a bad association between my e-mail address or name and the other account has been cached rather agressively. I'm told that any commits I now push to launchpad will be attributed to that other account, and all karma will remain there.
I asked mwhudson about this in IRC, and he suggested that it was almost certainly a bug.

We talked about this a little and seemed to come to the conclusion that we need to listen to events for emails been associated and disassociated from accounts, and update revisionauthor linkages as appropriate.
(This would also remove the need for the cronscript that links unlinked revisionauthors that we have at the moment)
