I agree in terms of user story, and I find it hard to do given the data model. The problem that I see is that we have multiple identities which have an email (that we hide) and a full name (that we show), that are distinct identities until someone goes and claims them to the same user. Until the association is done manually, my understanding is that we have no way of knowing that those identities belong to the same person, even if the full name matches (we have had distinct people with the same full name in Debian before). This however might not be relating to the problem that you are reporting, because they are emails that Abhijith PA has already claimed to a single user. In which case, the problem is only when someone not logged in goes to look at the person's page, finding 4 entries as poster with hidden email. I would assume that with the person logged in the ambiguity disappears, as they're able to see the emails and so see how the entries are distinct. I guess this would mean special casing the contributor page to aggregate contributions regardless of identifiers for the case when the visitor has no rights to see the actual identifiers. It sounds like a good idea! Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/634F4BD1E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <[email protected]>
