Comment 1 for bug 257449

hmm, I don't understand how this is related to python-launchpad-bugs. We are depending on the data provided by launchpad, so if launchpad needs such a long time to sync user data there is nothing we can do about it. So I think it's a bug in launchpad, they should sync user accounts more often.

As a workaround you should be able to create a temporary account on staging via the web interface

Please correct me if I did not understand your point here correctly.
