Bug Description
Trying to update a team +contactaddress, such as:
https:/
states "...@....com is already registered in Launchpad and is associated with ...".
The fact that it *is* associated with a user account, is *precisely* the reason that I'm trying to direct the contact point email there.
(A user reported that the only address they could find was kwwii's (the current setting).
To post a comment you must log in.
Users can use the 'contact this team' facility in launchpad to contact the team members. We could have a 'contact this teams administrators' or similar I guess?
As far as the display of email addresses, due to spam we generally don't - and won't - show email addresses. Users can opt-in to having their email address shown to other users.
We also have a constraint of one account per email address, and teams having an email address need it to be similarly unique. These constraints are fairly core to our design, though we could in principle change them.
What is the actual issue you're trying to solve?
