Comment 21 for bug 262193

Exactly. It's clear that this issue will not be fixed until Mark changes his mind. At this stage it doesn't appear that it will happen any time soon. Mark sees it as people providing information on "contributors". I see it as people editing my account. To me this is a serious issue.

Serious enough that I immediately removed myself from all Ubuntu groups, and no longer contribute to Ubuntu in any way. I don't send in reports of security issues I find, I don't send bug fixes, I don't propose new packages, I don't offer advice, I don't advocate it. Other people can edit my account on here, so quite frankly, it may not be me people think they are dealing with. I don't find it acceptable that my account can in any way be edited by third parties.

To get an idea of how unlikely this is to change - do you see Mark subscribed to this bug ? I don't.
