Although I agree, that the story sounds a little suspicious, I think, we
can find a better way than to simply deny the request.
One could send an email announcing the possible account transfer to the
original email address. If there is no reply within e.g. a month, we can
more or less safely assume, that the story is true.
Ok, I filed an orphan request from the new account. I fully understand
and appreciate your doubts about my story. Maybe my question was a bit
naive. If it's not possible or to much trouble then it's ok for me to
use a different username. More important is that I get back control
over my package. Hoping the orphan request will be successfull soon..
cheers
