Description Axel Uhl CLA 2010-09-02 04:37:23 EDT 
It seems the Bugzilla user ID is not used by the ESE submission system for identifying me. Instead, the submission system seems to be using my e-mail address as ID which changed. My old e-mail address doesn't work anymore. How can I access and edit my submissions?
Comment 1 Denis Roy CLA 2010-09-02 10:15:49 EDT 
Indeed.  We rely on a fabricated userid whereas Bugzilla uses an integer.  This fabricated userid is the root cause of many headaches.

For my own notes, we should discontinue fabricating an alphabetic userid, discontinue creating entries in the internal Foundation database and rely solely on the Bugzilla profiles.userid integer value.  This would require a mild overhaul of the submission system -- one that should be done after ESE2010 but before EclipseCon 2011.

For now, can you email me your old email address (send to webmaster@eclipse.org) and I will fix this manually for you.

This would be a *huge* change, but it would be tremendously beneficial.

Kind of related to bug 260489 also.
